Merrimack, NH, September 19, 2011 — Solidscape®, Inc., the leading manufacturer of high precision 3D printers for lost wax casting and mold making applications, announced today that the company has established a new Voice of the Customer Program.

“Our customers and resellers have spoken,” states Fabio Esposito, VP, Worldwide Sales and Marketing, adding: “It became clear that the demand is changing following the new market trends.  The industry is moving faster towards Direct Manufacturing requiring higher level of performances from materials and jetting technology”.
