"The following tutorial is a detailed guide with charts, graphs made by EOS GMBH as an "Investigation of detail resolution on basic shapes and the development of design rules.

A machine manufacturer, in the highly competitive 3D printing machines business: wants you to learn the limitations of their process so you can learn to design complex mechanical parts. A machine manufacturer is giving you direct access to its own R&D. It is putting a portion of its intellectual property online, not on its own website, but on another site, Shapeways. It is not sharing this information with a select number of its own customers but rather a customer's community.

This is huge. In IT and online we have gotten used to getting API's, open source libraries and acess to the code. So used to this in fact that we do not realise how incredibly rare this is outside "the web" and open source. We hope that you reaslize the significance of this. Because we would like to encourage EOS to keep allowing us to use this information and because we realize that this is an important step for them and technology in general we ask you to respect this material."

Wow, that is a big step on EOS's part! Let's hope they keep this up. It amazes me how commercial companies are only slowly waking up to the power of open source crowd projects!
