In Topic: Interest Check: Reproduction Controller Overlays

Thu May 17, 2012 8:03 AM

I have a micrometer here at work which specifically measures the gauge of plastics - I'll try to remember to bring in an overlay to get you guys the precise thickness. We also print on plastic, but the method used would not be too beneficial to making overlays. Unless of course you're looking for 100,000 of just one type :)

Medieval Mayhem
You'll probably want to drop menu option To Win down to 3 instead of the default 5. You could also trigger the No Man's Land easter egg to play without any castle walls :evil:

In Topic: Does "reduced manufacturing cost" = made cheaper?

Thu Apr 26, 2012 9:33 AM

Being in manufacturing, "reduced manufacturing cost" can mean anything really. It can mean "ok ok you caught with a higher profit margin and thus we can reduce our manufacturing costs to give you a more competitive price". Can also mean using alternate, less expensive materials, perhaps resulting in a cheaper feeling unit, or a less reliable unit. Maybe it could mean that the manufacturing practices are more refined with experience and you can make things a lot more efficiently. Or in fact they're buying smarter and getting a better cost for buying in volume. Even finding a country with cheaper labor costs could result in a reduced manufacturing.

The way the article is worded, it seems it could also mean a higher selling price..
