There’s a fantastic article in the Economist this week talking about the revolution happening in the manufacturing sector. This revolution is being driven by the falling price of 3D printing – a technology that allows you to build a three dimensional object from something that can be no bigger than a laser printer.
The implications of this are potentially huge. Imagine a world where you can customise almost everything at a touch of a button and still produce it at the same price as mass production. Imagine a world without factories…a world where every town or village has one of these printers churning out everything from lampshades to spectacles…all from digital files supplied by you and me. This will takes co-creation to the next level…to an individual level. Amazing!
