Came across this infographic on 3D printing and thought I’d share. While Roland DG has been in 3D in the form of CNC machining (Subtractive Rapid Prototyping) for over 30 years, we’ve only been in 3D printing (Additive Rapid Prototyping) for less than a year. Like you, we’re learning a lot about the technology and applications every day.

October 14, 2013 Rick Scrimger Inkjet Printers & Printers/Cutters

Just got this email for nominees for Digital Publishing Solutions Innovation of the Year Awards for 2013. I may be biased, but there are some fantastic entries here. Amazingly, a full 57% (8 out of 14) of them are done using Roland DG technology (we had to ask behind the scenes as it’s not always mentioned below). We truly work with some astonishingly creative professionals, who push the boundaries of what’s possible. By putting “magical” products in the hands of masters, and you get some unbelievably good outcomes. My hat is off to all of our Roland DG pro’s! Chapeau!

CEO Confidence is on the rise, which should be a good indicator or data point for looking into the near future. Since Vistage tends to focus on small/medium business, it’s certainly good to see this trend as most sign shops would fall into this category.
