I dunno Jon, I read your Linkedin page, and I didn't see any "admissions" from anyone. I saw a discussion of the limitations of poorly thought out 3d prints which produce parts that can't be machined efficiently. The same could easily be said about ANY poorly designed part regardless of the techniques involved.

That said, I spent the day yesterday at the Javits Center in NY attending the MD&M show http://mdmeast.mddionline.com . I spoke with plenty of manufacturers who use 3D printers to generate mold patterns, proofs of concept and finished products. These are real companies producing real products.

So, perhaps 3d printing has been overhyped in your world, but it certainly has not been in the world of medical devices - the surface is only beginning to be scratched.

What's a LinkedIn page? You mean my LinkedIn group? If that is what you mean suggest you review the membership of my group. It's a virtual who's who of the CADCAM biz. Lots of discussions on the problems with 3D printing and why it's so over-hyped and the problems it's causing CADCAM.

Suggest you also review Seeking Alpha to see what stock holders think of a troubled 3D Systems.

You seem to mistakenly think I don't like 3D printing or that I don't feel it's viable. What you and others here are missing is that CADCAM companies don't want to fix their badly broken basics and instead want to focus on 3D printing. There is no venture capital available for new and better CADCAM as VC's think it's a solved problem. Nothing could be further from the truth.
