What do you think about new industry standard definitions developed by SME and ASTM for the additive manufacturing (formerly known as the rapid prototyping, and by several other names) market?

I think you did a great job with the article. We have been using and trying to brand the term Additive Manufacturing for about 5 months. We really feel we have an advantage for AM with our DMLS machine and see the benefits. Quite a bit others are also seeing this especially where it is cost effective to produce metal parts without any tooling!
