3D printing

3D printing



3D printing has a great future. The devices are still unaffordable for the average consumer, but as the technique develops it will become within reach of the private people. Larger, complex objects will be printed by specialized companies, but simple constructions will one time soon be printed at home not too far away in the future. As is the case with all consumer goods, the possibility to produce complex objects with 3D printing devices will be increasing rapidly. This will include plastic parts, composite materials, metals (including non-ferro objects). Basically any material needed to produce useful things.

Open source communities have already started to make construction drawings available of 3D printers, making these machines will be able to build (improved) versions of themselves. This development that will revolutionize the way things are produced. It will end the monopoly of companies to produce complex constructions that up to now have been inaccessible to consumers, because information on how to build such devices has vehemently and ruthlessly been suppressed by the establishment. There will be a shift from affluent circles that control the money to produce things to the skilled and creative ones who actually have the capability to produce things.

I believe it will even end the penultimate monopoly of the affluent - which is the control of energy - because devices and systems will soon be built by brilliant private persons who are capable of building over-unity or free energy contraptions. It will ultimately lead to total independence of the people that have been under almost total control of corporations and banks. If a person is capable of producing energy (s)he will no longer have to pay gas- and electricity bills. The really smart ones will even be able to build systems that can cure certain diseases that will do away with medical bills and insurance premiums.
