     Although desirable, do we really need this? Do we really need to catch the
interest of these people at the expense of a decent term for such a beautifull
and elegant technology?
     My inclination is to use a trade-off, namely Fast Freeform Fabrication.
Nobody in the audience mentioned above cares about the "Solid"; how could
there be anything else except "solids"??? Besides, "Fast" is more catchy,
and the whole expression can be abbreviated to F^3...
     Would anyone like to conduct a survey using this mailing list?
