@ToxicWFH @nikitabier I don’t think it’s anything specific, but Google’s promotion process is famously difficult and prioritizes shipping new things over growing old things. This is why you get new products from Google launched and abruptly cancelled.

If I had a nickel for every time a metal 3d printing startup founded out of MIT grew too fast and became a unicorn before nailing the process and product-market fit I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t much but it’s weird it happened twice, right?

There are a lot of startups trying to make metal printers more expensive -- SLM is awesome, but I don't think its the right path to scale.
