Great stuff Carsten. With some more material development effort there
should be no reason why we can't move to the next level and have "Rapid
Production."

This is the next frontier to conquer and will open up a whole new
manufacturing industry based on customization, small lots, just-in-time
production, quick-response manufacturing (QRM), production on demand (POD),
etc.

RP equipment manufacturers should also be leading the charge on this but I
have heard nothing from them on this subject - has anybody heard from them
on this?
