It should be noted and reiterated that there are only a limited number of manufacturers who are producing and selling significant quantities of commercial-scale equipment.  The polymer manufacturing equipment has been garnering the most publicity.  There are much fewer metal equipment manufacturers.  However, there will be increasing numbers of manufactures entering the market over the next few years and this will be accompanied by the development of more complex IP portfolios.
