That is a lot of information, but I’m sure to some people Games Workshop looks to be sorta ‘behind the times’ in their response to not just 3D printing but the seemingly rampant resin counterfeiting of both miniatures and books that has been happening as of late.
Maybe a better question is whether 3D printing is the real threat, or if it may turn out to be if ‘affordable’ plastic injection molding. That could prove to be a real game changer.
