Tell me a little bit about the economics of it. to buy a maker bot or to put something on shapeways versus going and manufacturing it yourself the traditional way. >> it really depends on type of product, the volumes, the size, the complexity. typically, if its relatively low volumes and very complex, then thats when theres a good match. and also relatively small. they dont do well with big parts because they take so much longer. you can do big parts by getting the expensive machines and assembl...
