3D Printers and Digital Manufacturing

A video from The Economist about the profound changes in manufacturing that are likely on the horizon and the emergence of a new form of Digital Manufacturing through the introduction of 3D printers into the home. Its only 8 minutes and definitely worth the watch. An accompanying article can be found here.

For more about 3D printers have a look at this older post Are Replicators almost a Reality?
