The first printing press was slow and of limited value too. The vision is to be able to ''print'' new homes for the masses and create consumer items -- even body replacement parts -- cheaply with little human labor. Cheap developing world labor will be replaced by cheaper mechanized or robotic labor that is also more politically stable labor.

Learn new skills or be made redundant -- this is your best option.


I've read several articles discussing all the new industry and jobs 3d printing will create and is creating.
