I have posted about this topic before and how it will be a trasnsformational technology in the area of manufacturing. The likely result is that the shift from local to foriegn manufacturing will shift back to local and then to personal as each home has a 3-D printer to manufacture most basic meterial needs. Read the attached article, and then lets discuss how you think this technology will impact our economy, and how you think society will change when the cost of something is reduced to the cost to obtain the raw resources to produce it.
