It is a professional, enclosed 3D printer and is being targeted as an alternative to industrial systems. It is also allegedly up to 2 times faster than other systems.

It is still an FDM system and appears to use enclosed spools which also appear to be proprietary as they are calling them 'smart spools'.It also appears to be using proprietary software.
It has 21 sensors on board including filament sensors and enclosure sensors.
