Ever attempt to use a TV remote control without orienting the thing to
point at the TV? How about making Microwave popcorn? "This side up"
You don't just throw the paper at your "push-button" printer and
expect it to load properly do you? The document you are printing must
first be setup with the proper margins and fonts and thats just 2D
data, so at what point did it become just a push button device?
Until an RP device is capable of producing feature definition on a
molecular level it will be necessary to orient the part to optimize
the surface finish and features.
PS: Did you instinctively know how to use the software you are
creating you designs in, or were you trained?...self taught? Is there
some skill level required to use it? Why do you see RP as different?
