No. Cost estimate was for beryllium formulation only.

BTW:

The price of the installed machine which Steipp et alia alluded to at the Open House needs to be broken down, which I have not the inclination to do at this time.

Nonetheless, involved in the total are the individual costs of the turn-key:

a) Cost of basic E-100
b) Cost of power source for the induction vacuum chamber
c) Cost of vacuum chamber melt
d) Cost of the robot to insert ingots and remove ejected parts
e) Other odds and ends I have not included but unable to list due to lack of knowledge of them

I was told by Markus at Engel that the raw machine before modification and addition of b-e was less than USD 200000 K, so it seems that the additional components are pretty expensive in totum.
