To be fair... I admit you certainly raise some valid points.
It's me versus 7 billion people after all... and the odds that I would be that 1 person in 7 billion.... are... well.... 1 in 7 billion... clearly not very good odds
You are also correct, "reason does have to win at the end of the day".... That being said when I applied reason to the domain name LensPrinters.com (and others like it).... I clearly arrived at a different end point then 7 billion other people... yourself included....That end point had me spending $7.99 on GoDaddy for the domain under the assumption that someday it would be worth more than I paid for it. Whether or not my reasoning is valid remains to be seen. But I arrived at that end point based upon some fairly solid factual evidence.
It is more or less an indisputable fact that 3d printing is a technology that will revolutionize global manufacturing in the coming years. The interesting paradox about this "indisputable fact".... is that I can more or less guarantee that if you walked out your front door right now and asked 10 different people what they could tell you about the 3d printing industry as a whole... you would probably get 9 blank stares.... and 1 "yeah...I heard something about that".... Seriously... try it.
As far as optometry printing itself goes it really in it's infancy. Do a Google search for 3D lens printing and you will actually have to dig to get a handful of hits... mostly in specialized forums....on the subject. There are a handful of companies developing the technology.... but it clearly has not even come close to reaching it's critical mass. In my first post I did use the phrase, "obvious" to describe the application of 3d printing to lens technology... but the fact of the matter is it actually isn't that obvious at all.... (think about those 9 blank stares)....
That being said... like I said earlier... 3D printing is a manufacturing trend that will literally revolutionize the global marketplace. And Lenses are a product that indisputably lend themselves very well to being produced by 3D printers.
When you combine the fact that Billions of people wear lenses.... with the fact that there is a technology currently being developed that will revolutionize the way those lenses are produced. It starts to become a little more clear that perhaps there might be an opportunity to tap into a growing market.
The fact of the matter is someday in the near future billions of lenses will be produced by printers. That technology is still a few years off.... but it is going to happen. Lenses will be printed by the billions. You can disagree with that assertion... but you would be disagreeing with simple logic.
Lenses printed by the billions.
LensPrinters.com suddenly seems to have a little more value.... You say no... and I respect your opinion... but I think your reasoning is seriously flawed when you look at the facts.
In anycase... thanks for your input... I guess time will tell
