Digital prototyping: a Case study on its viability in enhancing small and medium ceramic industries

Small and Medium Industries are important to almost all economies in the world, particularly to developing countries and, within that broad category, especially to those with major employment and income distribution challenges. They contribute to the output and creation of jobs; also they are a nurs...

Aziz Shuaib Olalere, Folasayo Enoch Small and Medium Industries are important to almost all economies in the world, particularly to developing countries and, within that broad category, especially to those with major employment and income distribution challenges.
