Providers today offer uncapped bandwidth, some, like Amazon, without any cost cap, some, like KeyCDN, allow to set a cost cap, but take the resources off-line when the limit is exceeded.

Perhaps I should have specified that I am talking about Computer Generated 3D models, not physical models.
Oh, so you mean like a big box that could fit XYZ items inside it and capture something like 10,000 per day? I mean, to me it's kind of hard to believe nobody's tried making a "conveyor belt" like process inside a closed system (a shipping container?) with the right optics and resolution to pull it off. Fidelity plus speed plus software consistency. Considering what I saw the gaming industry doing with static models…
Maybe but I actually think that's the wrong approach.

Yea they have - kinda. None of it works well or fast enough though. We put up a patent for one a year ago before I thought there was a better way to do it. The manpower required to move items onto/off of a line is a big part of the problem.
Content and patch distribution for video games: Data integrity, progressive downloads, file-level patching, compression, encryption, and platform/version branching. It's quite mind-boggling; nobody is really doing it on an industry-scale level. Every video game developer has their own way, all of which have their own problems. It is a very hard problem. Blizzard actually came up with a very good system, but it's not…

See other responses for the markets it would serve. Use 3D modeling by hand pricing as a comp (Low end $10/model, average in the $50-100/model range, sky's the limit for super HQ stuff). Not sure what kind of datasets you're looking for. You'll see actual products to test with.
That makes sense. I think there's opportunity for generative ML to eventually help here. An open dataset of (images, description) -> 3d model would go a long way. Check out this paper on using GANs to generate voxel-based models: http://3dgan.csail.mit.edu/ I've been studying and working with GANs for about a year now. They are still very exciting, and I'd love to try to expand my codebase to new types of data. Addit…
Well, not exact cause I don't like their voxel building generation method.
I think a GAN + Procedural Generator is the winner.
edit: Let me know if you want to work on this cause it's an active area of research for us. See my HN profile for contact.
A ticketing system that doesn't sux (I like RequestTracker, but it shows its age). Top players are ridiculously overpriced. My management style is like this: every task/request is numbered, placed in a queue and assigned to a professional. What I expect from my ticketing system: - every manager should be able to assign tasks to someone and set the order they must be executed. He needs know what his team is doing and…

In a nutshell, I argue that the problem with most ticket systems is that they do not constrain the domain enough, so they wind up having similar problems to email (sifting through a chronologically-ordered pile of text rather than structured, semantically-ordered information).
Your comments make me think the crux of the problem is that people want tickets to be like email and use email to manage them. I'm not sure you can ever overcome the "chronological pile-up" problem if you allow email as a user interface to ticketing.
These questions pop up every now and then, and while I get the intent, you're not gonna get anything useful out of it. The idea that someone who knows how to code can disrupt an industry that they are not a part of is disingenuous, and the examples that you can find are exceptions, not the rule. It's also extremely naive and presumptuous...what makes you think people in the industry haven't already tried? People who…

What is the use case for the models themselves?
Product development engineer here. In the early stages of a project it can be useful to have CAD models of a competitor's product when analyzing how to improve upon them. Recently we had an intern reverse engineer a competitor's product, and we've used some of these CAD models as the basis for our new designs.
In real estate, developing with MLS data. - There are over 900 regional MLS providers each with different schemas. - You use RETS, a complicated, non web standards interface for downloading data. - MLS data is plagued with errors and denormalized data making queries difficult.
In Canada, they standardized and built a single website. realtor.ca is, shockingly, a really great user experience when finding a new home.
