WE find it is ideal for an office environment, though its not totally silent.

the company qoutes +-0.005"

0.005"

We are trying to find out this right now.

Yes, one who has been trained on it.
8) How long does it usually take to process files to build?
SInce QuickSlice offers the user various parameters that can be
changed, it takes some time to process the files. Ofcouurse you can use
the default settings (which takes a couple of minutes) , but if you are more
specific about
how much of surface & part integrity you need, you would need to spend
more time on it.
