I like the things on the picture. But do we really need a bureau to manage other bureaus ?
And when we've got three or four over bureaus will we then get an uber bureau to manage the over bureaus - where will it end ?
It does seem like a cunning way to make money without actually offering a physical product or a service that makes physical products.

And am I the only person left on the planet who just doesn't trust 'cloud' based services ? (yes you are, bloody luddite)

Kabuku, the Tokyo firm that developed the Rinkak MMS, says the service will be ready for launch next week. Rinkak 3D Printing MMS is a “a one-stop manufacturing service solution covering everything from the automated creation of a website, to smoothing the process of receiving new orders, to manufacturing and sales management tools.” Along with automated job quotation, automated 3D data analysis software, manufacturing process management and sales management functions, the service includes order receipt and sales management tools.
