No tooling, little craftsmanship, just programming and a big milling machine. Those of you that congratulate him for what he has done might not feel the same if he was plagiarizing your intellectual property.
There is no IP. It expired 65 years ago. I suspect you would also be angry if he called it "the Heine" claiming he just ripped off "the Nivex". And you have got to be kidding about your hate of modern manufacturing, right?
