How long has RUBIK 3D been in business.

Is running a 3D fabrication service different in Egypt than let's say Europe or the US? Has the political upheaval made it more difficult?

What type of printers do you use, as well as the materials you print in?

What types of print requests do you get?

Your site also shows that you do medical printing and actually offer a discount to researchers. What percentage of prints are now medical?

Do actually create the mesh files from medical files, e.g. DICOMs? If so, what type of scan data do you work with and what software are you using?

What would it cost me to obtain a print from you? (Please give us the EGP and US dollar equivalent)

Even though you live in Egypt, technology has allowed us to communicate and share knowledge from anywhere in the world. I know personally this would not happen if it were not for the extensive network we call the internet. Is this also important to you and are you part of the Rep-Rap community?

Is there a Maker community in Cairo? If so, are you part of it?

What do you hope for the future in technology, energy, world interaction/stability?
