Neil,Who said anything about it being “superior”?
While not necessarily discussed or mentioned in this thread, I have seen it in other threads, and other posts on other forums, where someone buys a [cheap] 3D printer, and think they can rival (or beat) modern industrial manufacturing..
I had a friend a few years ago spout off about how he & a friend were going to get a 3D printer 'and put China out of business': they were going to canvas all the bars in an area of Montreal, and start producing custom 'take home' shot glasses.. Their thoughts were that 3D printing is fast, cheap & simple, and that it could rival etched glass, cheap enough that thy could be 'give aways' / promotional items for the bars.. "They would make a million!!" [drunken dreams]
Maybe I did speak out of turn.. sorry!
