While this wouldn't work for the smallest manufacturers, Atlas could certainly afford to buy and use one of those rapid-prototype 3-D laser printers to produce a sample prior to cutting the tooling.

You can't, as a rule, "tweak" tooling - it's either cut or not.

I don't understand why 3d Cad images are not provided before the tooling is
