This would be a great session for a conference, wouldn't it?
Seems like Phil Dickens did something along these lines somewhere.
Maybe it was an early study. IMS did an early study of all RP systems.
Is anyone doing, planning a study on getting to metals and JUST where this
stands? I would add Optimec and Huffman since these systems may be the
future tooling machines.

Clint, Terry, Phil, Ian.........can one of you rally the troops for such an
effort?
