“We can [make] any 3D object that could fit in a breadbox,” Pearce says – with the caveat that the object cannot have any vertical holes running through it, because of how the welding machine works.
Huh? This implies a simple raster scan rather than contour tracing. But why couldn't the arc be reinitiated on the other side of the hole? Startup blobbing unacceptable?
