Hi,

This ISO/IEC joint spec won't ever become freely available.  ISO uses the
same system as IEEE does
(w/ exception of IEEE 802 series) - industries have to buy out the
copyright.  Remember that IEEE
2600 series cost printer manufacturers $100,000 in 2009 to buy out the
copyright - not going to happen
w/ the 3MF spec.

Effectively, 3MF is now off the table to consider adding as a requirement
or recommendation in any
PWG spec.

Cheers,
- Ira
