Just reading Geoff Smith's report on 3D and saw a section on what he thinks
3d needs to do. I am sure this is a composite of what has been stated to
him....but I am curious about what you think RP vendors need to be focused
on for the next century. Like a political poll this is just individual
opinions only......
I think all the RP vendors should focus on the low end users in order to
build a ladder down that will eventually lead to any and all potential
users. If they have no desire to do this then they should focus on
bringing down system costs. High end users are a short term market while,
we low end users, have the potential to drive sales into the mom and pop
shops. Today price really speaks regardless of the language.
