Hi Eric,

To reduce the cost of RP, I would suggest:

Hi Ralf-S ... thanks for the suggestion.

I'm not sure how this would reduce the cost ... I thought I understood that the cost applies to weight and material type, primarily.

Our RP service is calculated according to the used "space/box" and the material...
We have the information on the different "Space/box sizes" and
we can optimize our RP parts.
As application, we use (among others):
