Marshal Burns: "Most products are not made from metal
alloys and many parts of most products do not need machined accuracy."

Marshall, I was a big fan of yours in the early days of RP (and still have your book), but this just isn't right and I'm surprised that anyone involved with manufacturing (AM or otherwise) would make such a claim. More on this later however (as I have no time right now).

Elaine,
 
Additive Rp has never attained the form (machined accuracy)
or physical properties of industrial parts machined accurately from metal
alloys.
 
Happy New Year,
