After the Austin conference I wonder where RP will be in the next five
years.......so.......I daydream about......

What kind of resolution does the world really need in a part?
When do we want to achieve surface finish, details,etc?
What kind of unique materials would serve the widest market?
What types of delivery systems (does the world really want desktop)?
Are there niches that we have never considered that are just lying about?

Has our thinking strangulated at the current RP options?

Oh well.....conferences do make me wonder and  Austin always provides
plenty of food for thought.  If you missed it.....too bad.

 It was great to put faces on otherwise anonymous entities and enjoy face
to face conversations.  Ian's wife should understand his interest in RAPID
prototyping.
Hope he made it back to the other side of the world safely.

Elaine
