3D Printing: The Future of Manufacturing

Alex Daley of Casey Research discusses the 3D printing revolution and its impact on the future of manufacturing. He also sheds light on curing cancer, biological medicine, genetic medicine, digital content, computer technology, electronic devices, popular mechanics, the human genome, globalization, monoclonal antibodies, biotechnology and much more.

Michael Nuschke, author of Retirement Singularity, discusses the technology and science behind 3D printing & 3D manufacturing and how this will impact investors.

Cool... especially ability to print in 70 different materials.

All technology has an effect on the economy, people will have to learn new skills but the benefits to humanity will be tremendous with this technology. This technology is going invigorate so many industries and bring prices down down down. The only people who can fuck this up is the government, so once we get rid of them, life if going to be amazing.

One benefit will be reduced need for shipping/trucking with associated environmental benefits!

Very interesting Video. I am curious how additive manufacturing might shift manufacturing from global to local again.

I was just talking about this with a friend yesterday who quipped, "I'm glad that this will be the end of Walmart!" I said, I would be surprised if they were not one of the leading users of 3D printing in stores in the near future. Actually, Staples already is using 3D printers in some outlets...

However, once they become ubiquitous in households, it will be a dramatic shift.

We used this technology at Pratt & Whitney, manufacturers are VERY interested to say the least. Aerospace will adopt this first, when you are working at tolerances of +-0.0005" atomically perfect parts are their dream. The cost of precision is high, CNC helped out a lot, but cutting some of those alloys warps them.

This technology has been a long time coming, however perfects it, and runs with it, will be the next Apple. SSYS looks good to me.
