  24. The potential of RP • Physical model in hours • Small batch manufacturing • New design space • Design, make, deliver and consume products • Freedom to create

  25. Learning from the history • Similarity with the computer industry • In the ’50s-’60s computers… • Cost hundreds of thousands of $ • Had the size of a refrigerator • Took hours to complete a single job • Required trained personal to operate • Were fragile and difficult to maintain • Vicious circle • Niche applications  Small demand • Small demand  High cost  Niche applications Digital PDP-11, 1969 Stratasys Vantage, 2005
