Z-corp and other manufacturers have been making these exact same printers with this technology commercially available for years. HP has brought absolutely nothing new to the table.

Yup, that's the same thing.
The point I was making is that when larger companies jump onto products like 3D printing or any other piece of innovation in recent history, they tend to begin their introduction to normal life soon after. I don't contest that 3D printers have been around for a while, and I'm sure there are better ones around than this one, but HP, a printer manufacturer could make 3D printing more mainstream simply by being HP.
