I dropped a similar idea to 3D Systems (GmbH) during an informal conversation and the (quick) conclusion was that this concept was against their interests.
More specifically, if such a network would maximize machine utilization then this was against their
interests. It does, however, sound good from the end-user's point-of-view.
