Nice post Yip. 3d printing hasnt been touched a lot lately, and I agree on us being in the perfect zpot for adding joyjuice to almost all filaments (except titanium and some other metals which have a too high melting temperature for our dna)...years ago I did some searching at several robotic and 3d printing summits...think by now we must have completed several initial pilots (all imho)...and I think Techmer and perhaps BASF might have been right there with their 3d printed carbodies...
Anyway, your post gives me some fuel to start some breadcrumhunting once again...
Thx yip, and I will buy the book. This is a subject I have done a lot of research on. How do you control IP rights as 3-D printers become evermore sophisticated.
Another area is Macro Economics as the world is robotized.
How do you create demand for automaton goods as blue collar workers are displaced. Service workers also?
Personal use of 3-D created parts seems akin to copying a dvd for personal use. Or downloading single user software into a server.
But, we all know that Fake parts made by this method are already on the market. That author is correc about the need for APDN dna marking. It looks like the final, workable solution.
Excellent insight to our role in the future of 3D printing Yip!. MHO follows here.
Been promoting our success may be modeled on last century's Union Carbide Corp.

For industrial use. VideoJet has us licensed for this explosive tech. And I don't mind. Think we should be swallowed by a multinational. Danaher doesn't have anything promoted in 3D printing, however, this fits perfectly

The infrared reader is real time and damn near perfect. We can do all that clinical data and achieve the bar of perfection later.

Got some pretty damn pretty cheap 3D printers available for anybody to buy now.
