3d printing is already a multi-billion dollar industry with several manufacturers printing final products on mass production 3d printer assembly lines.
the waste savings alone 3d printing allows can be up to 90%. the other efficiences it creates in manufacturing are also significant
It's already way beyond diy and adding to the economy.
