2) 3DMall decided to become a minority investor in the Thailand manufacturing plant, providing funds for it to expand capacity and gaining significant cost savings from the improved economies of scale and better prices due to the closer business relationship.

A 3D printer competitor wants to outsource its motor purchases to you and offers to buy all available excess capacity for US$100 per motor.
