企业之一。此后，工厂陆续购买了多台，还有其他类型 的快速成型机，如用于早期设计阶段的耐用ABS塑料打 印机的展示样机。小型蜡模打印机可以打印珠宝等微型 精密铸件的模样，而另一台快速成型设备可以使用破碎 的有机玻璃（PPMA）生产模样。大型的蜡模打印机可 以打印表面质量要求为A级的铸件的模样。 “我们的目标不是生产数百万件的产品，”Ziemba 说。“我们的经营策略是，按最快的速度，生产范围在 5到2000件的产品。我们的商业模式促使我们以自信的 态度，致力于生产独特的产品。没有我们不能生产的产 品，问题只是需要的时间长短。我们取得的成就不大， 但我们有非常高的成功率，通过第一次试验，我们就能 提供成品。
“我们总是接手难题，而且随交货期要求缩短，使 生产更具挑战性。在5到7000件产品的正常生产作业
