It inevitability will. Not so much as if, but when.
- tomcam 11y agoManufacturing real goods involves a shitload of toxic substances, compliance to arcane local, state, and federal guidelines, a ton of tools, and a vast set of roles we don't normally think about. Painting details by hand, trimming off the flash and so on just isn't going to happen within the next few decades. (Definitely later, when robots are a few orders of magnitude smarter.) Sure, I can 3D print a toy flute or a napkin holder, but real flute mechanisms are a bitch. Any serious flute player will happily pay for it to work right every time.

How about a 3D printed remote control car that snaps together, uses no screws, and costs $10 in plastic? http://makezine.com/projects/3d-print-badass-rc-race-car/ http://makezine.com/projects/3d-print-badass-rc-race-car/ https://github.com/tlalexander/Flutter-Scout https://github.com/tlalexander/Flutter-Scout Note: I am the designer.
