    1. Given the deceleration in Network growth to 11% year-over-year in Q3 2024 from over 80% in Q3 2023, how do you plan to re-accelerate growth in the Network business, especially considering the ongoing contraction in manufacturing?

    2. With the closure of your prototype Injection Molding facility in Germany and discontinuation of DMLS services in Europe, how will these actions impact your European revenue and customer relationships, and what specific measures are you taking to mitigate potential revenue loss?

    3. Your gross margins have improved partly due to favorable market conditions with excess capacity in manufacturing; how sustainable are these margin improvements if market conditions tighten, and what strategic initiatives are in place to maintain margins in a more competitive environment?

    4. Despite efforts to increase revenue per customer, third quarter revenue per customer contact declined 1% year-over-year due to a decline in Injection Molding revenue; what are the underlying causes of this decline, and how do you plan to reverse it to drive growth?

    5. With the continued headwinds in your Sheet Metal service, which declined 13% year-over-year and has not grown for several quarters, what strategic decisions are you considering for this segment, and is there potential to integrate it into the Network model similar to actions taken with other services?
