Maintenance for laser verses electron beam should be compared. Obtaining good laser printed metallurgical results should be no less daunting than when using electron beam so training should be as much of an issue there. We need a comparison there as well. Also, lasers have mechanical mirrors to aim the beam which means there must be a maintenance cost. Mechanical things wear out. I'm betting the laser units have comparable costs.
