3D打印

被炒得火热的增材制造尚未取代传统制造技术，但随着3D打印系统变得更廉价、更智能，这一情况将发生改变。作者们写道：“未来，3D打印将重新定义实物商品的销售和分销。”比如购买一双鞋的电子图纸，然后回到家将它们打印出来。书中指出，“随着消费者和企业开始打印自己的产品，生产过程将‘大众化’。”

3D printing

Much-hyped additive manufacturing has yet to replace traditional manufacturing technologies, but that could change as systems get cheaper and smarter. “In the future, 3D printing could redefine the sale and distribution of physical goods,” the authors say. Think buying an electric blueprint of a shoe, then going home and printing it out. The book notes that “the manufacturing process will ‘democratize’ as consumers and entrepreneurs start to print their own products."
