Only EDM, nobody has tried that apart from Curt. There seem to be no  
industrial applications to make PCBs that i can find.
It uses electricity, loads of it, makes fire, under water, and sparks and  
all, that is worth it all by itself, if it does produce a PCB in the  
process i don't mind either. You can't get much better than that. Even  
direct "copper" printing wouldn't be easier as blank PCB without copper is  
very hard to get, so either etch it off or pay more...

By the way, do you have any idea how Willem can build his machine so fast?  
He must have loads of experience... ;-)
