Solo (almost) copy

My friend posted this on LinkedIn. Very similar machine to the solo.
Seems there is a market in Europe and I know these aren’t made down to a cheep price and won’t be available until 2026. They will be quite expensive. Wondering if they were inspired by the Solo.

That’s got considerably more work footprint and power than the Solo. It will be interesting to see what it’s pricepoint is.

I’m guessing 240v because Germany and deeper/taller than the solo. Still goes through a door. I prefer the solo kinematic 4th and 5th axis style.

3-phase power too, I suppose. That’s not as common in the US as it is elsewhere, at least in residential areas. I use VFDs on my 3-phase power tools, but those max out at about 3 HP for 220 single-phase power. Phase converters get expensive in a hurry, I suppose that if you can afford the LBR mill, the converter cost wouldn’t be a deal breaker. The Solo kinematics seem preferable to me as well, but I’m a novice at 5-axis.

If I get more details I’ll keep this thread update. Seems it’s a year away anyway.
