The main take-away I have from this blog post, is that the term "3D printing" is increasingly used to mean "automated manufacturing", even by people who are sophisticated enough to publish on Svbtle.
There aren't many products out there that can be produced by 3D printing alone. You can, however, get to the point the author suggests by applying "high automation" (integrating multiple automated fabrication methods into an automated manufacturing system).
Nevertheless, can at least those of us in the know insist on using the term "3D printing" precisely, i.e. only for additive manufacturing processes? That would be splendid, I think.
