I just had a thought - with what would probably be a lot of work you could add a 'scanner' side and then we'd finally have a way to get 'prints' of engravings.
I've heard it said here that that is one of the things that's kept engraving from having the 'status' of other fine arts - the lack of inexpensive copies.
Yes, having a system out there that can 'pirate' your engravings would be a bad thing, but having the ability to produce something better than a cast would be a good thing, so it's all in how it's used (in that day when it's eventually available).
