Question: Brian Drab - William Blair & Company - Analyst
: Hi, good morning. Thanks for taking my questions. A lot going on here this morning. So, I'll start with the marketing and sales enablement tools
and the spending there. I don't know, Dan, if you could quantify any further, how we should think about the model in 2025 in terms of incremental
dollars spent or percentage of sales for those line items.
Question: Brian Drab - William Blair & Company - Analyst
: Okay, Just to clarify. Did you, did you say non-GAAP OpEx up? How much did, I wrote down $2.5 million.
Question: Brian Drab - William Blair & Company - Analyst
: Yeah. Okay. Yeah, that's helpful. Thanks. And then could, you guys talk a little bit about your mix today of production versus prototyping? I don't
think you talk about a specific breakdown or, but you could you give us any sense for what percentage of revenue is production today and you
know how that you said it's outgrowing prototyping.
You know how, has that been growing? And how are the margins lately in production versus prototyping? And one of the concerns always is that
production is maybe going to have lower, lower margin ultimately.
Question: Brian Drab - William Blair & Company - Analyst
: Great. Okay, thanks. And then can I just ask one more question the injection molding business? Which I've always thought, and I think our, studies
have confirmed that you have had a very special offering there in terms of speed and, and, and just overall capability. But it's down sequentially
down year over year. You know, is that a function at all of the German plant that you shot and you know, just what, what's the outlook for injection
molding, do you think here in '25?
Question: Brian Drab - William Blair & Company - Analyst
: Okay, thanks very much. I'll follow up more later.
