I made it down to W.V. in pretty good time and made a pit stop at the relatives and headed up next to the New River Gorge Bridge to some cabins my uncle and his friend neil built down through 25 some odd years. There we discussed the complexities 3d printing vs. injection molding. Size limitations of 3d printing for the solutions we were looking for. I still of course believe that monetary savings we can make on design processes would help offset the size limitations. So it was definitely enlightening discussion.
Construction work especially with small contractors needing scalibility need the correct materials for 3d printing. When you need material or time savings wouldn't you rather produce the objects on site and save the multiple runs to fill your supply chain than to bounce from one place and check their stock to another. Phone calls can solve alot but we cannot be two places at once. So we can readjust production cutting down on processes, time and money.
