One hour glasses have been around for decades. This is a low margin business, unless what you’re actually selling is the style and the brand instead of the substance. It’s easy to have a large collection of blanks in different materials and coatings and strengths, and then use CNC grinding and polishing machines that can quickly do the remaining 10% of the work.
Bringing 3d printing to this field does what for the customer?
Where does 3D printing fundamentally change the equation for the company making the product?
