It's like one of those industrial printers. I've seen an even bigger one at one of my old workplace. It takes up an entire room. The EBM might not be that portable from the looks of it, but it is definitely more mobile than the computers of old.

If the picture of the machine is anything to go by, I do wonder how portable it is. It reminds me of what a computer looks like before it became personal (as in PC). My goodness!
