System evolution from early Eden and CNC prototypes (left) to final prototypes (right, green colored). The leftmost two are early mechanical prototype concepts that were not taken further. The green one at right is the final first generation True Clear Pro machine. The one just to the left of the green is an early version (development prototype) of the final one
