Survey: General 3D Printing

Good day!

My name is Taylor Amarel and I'm working on a start-up project and would greatly appreciate if you would take 2-3 minutes to fill out this survey.

Please only complete this survey if you are familiar or at least know what rapid prototyping / manufacturing is and have some experience in this area.

If you find that these question do not apply to you, please feel free to not complete the survey.

All the best!
