I think that would be good, and possibly useful. . .
But, the part anyone would send to this program would be very accurate, even
if it took 10 times to build. Why would anyone send a part that could be
innacurate and have their name attached.
Probably the best thing to do is for a "watchdog" to release a "job" to
users at the same time and record delivery time, service, finish quality,
price, and accuracy. This way, users would be unwittingly contributing and
you could get an accurate guage on what the technologies are "actually
producing" instead of what they "could produce given the right
circumstances."

Subject: user part
I wonder how many users would be willing to make a user part on their RP
system and submit it for measurement and then post the information maybe on
Terry Wholer's web page. The cost of measuring the part is about $100
and I think this would make a great database.
What do YOU think?
