I woudl thinkg that with the new abilty to add tolerances to SolidWorks part and assembly files it further supports the mind set of not creating prints. Espically if the parts are jsut going to go on the a LaserCutter of a CNC mill.
Of course there needs to be some from of comunication to describe the tollerances required.

I love the concept.
