Start by reading Marshall Burn's book on Automated Fabrication. Also check
http://www.vr.clemson.edu/credo/prl.html where I am hanging out alot of RP
information that I have collected over the years. The section called
resources contains alot of new stuff.
If you need hard copies and are located in Greenville, SC come to see me as
I have an extensive library on the subject here at Clemson. I have
information dating back to 1989.

Here you will have to turn to "Terry T. Wohlers" <twohlers@compuserve.com>
, KDenton@williams-int.com, and Brock Brock Hinzmann
<bhinzmann@sric.sri.com> to collect this type of information. I do not
believe anyone has published any collective information concerning the
total impact on companies or their strategies.
Your study will be interesting...any prospects that it will be made public?
