Weird economics for this one. They claim to produce one piece of plastic every 60 seconds. Probably with post-processing, this translates to a part per 2 minutes, or 240 per day at most. In this low volume, you'd need to be selling high-value products to make economic sense. But then, if you have the budget for more than a few dollars per plastic, why wouldn't you go for a 3D printing service like Shapeways, or low volume molds, like ProtoMold ?

Is this not something which can happen in parallel on a production line?
