Does anyone have a pointer to information on utilization
rates of commercial RP systems?

In looking at machine utilization with respect to RP, I
have basically heard one of two stories: either we use the
machine 24 hours a day, 365 days per year; or we use the
machine infrequently.

I am interested in finding out which of the above stories
best fits most commercial RP systems.

I'm most interested in hearing about any statistical
surveys of RP machine utilization. However, the experiences
of individual RP shops (both service bureau and company)
would also be appreciated.

In a week, or so, I'll post a summary of the responses that
I receive.

Thank you, in advance, for your time and attention.
