“A nanotechnology company came to us. It had a 50,000 dollar injection motor part design, and as part of the bidding process, manufacturers in our network not offer, not only offer a price, but they also offer feedback on your design intent, right? So in this case, it said, hey, 50,000 dollars is going to take over three months to build. We can actually do this exact same geometry and sheet metal, and we can deliver this in less than two weeks, and it's going to cost less than 2000 dollars, right?”
