Yes I think so.
Do you work with that?
Regulary?
I'd really like to buy such a machine.

I work on the DimensionBST768 3D printer for 3 years and I have a lot of experience in other 3d printing technologies.
It all depends on which would be use-purpose of 3d printer.
There are many different materials to suit a particular purpose. You should also pay attention to the resolution and print speeds.
You should take into consideration aftertreatment of printed models.
Due to various printing technologies, supporting material (witch I do not see that in the case of Makerbot) in some cases is removed manually and in some cases chemically. Sometimes this can create problems, especially in a manual removal of supporting material.

No I don't have a deals with 3d printers. But last week I investigated some 3d-printing services. In general what I think: the quality of printers like this is enough for prototypes, not for end (real) parts. There is the simmilar printer: http://pp3dp.com
He using the same technology: extrude melted ABS plastic like of confectionery syringe. The web site have some videos and photos. A resellers from Australia and UK are offer free samples of printed parts.
So, Dragan (dprodanic) can open for you more tricks from real life in 3d printing, than I'm.
