Correct, we would ship even if some of the software features were not yet released (although we’re working hard to make that not the case). As far as hardware, I don’t believe we have any missing features; our work is all a matter of reliability, precision durability, passing tests, etc.
If there are any features that are unavailable when your Glowforge is ready for delivery, we’ll let you know before you provide your shipping address and confirm that you want your machine delivered.
