WOW! I really dig this concept of five axis multi-tool! It gives you 5 axis CNC machine that includes milling and 3d printing heads, touch probe, hot wire-cutter and a special mount for custom tools. This is probably a dawn of low cost multi-axis and multi-tool digital fabrication devices.
The company that is developing it also created open source Grasshopper script that allows programming of this 5-axis machine.
It was sold on pre-order from Kickstarter campaign for £4,499 (about $7000). The pack included:
