3D printing will only accelerate and could benefit communities through complex projects to large for current fabrication companies. Imagine a town where multiple homes have 3D printers. Here’s how it might work:

  • Buyer has a concept and gives it to a designer for detailed design and specifications of the components.
  • Designer sends data to a platform company to which the homes subscribe.
  • The company sends the data to the homes, which print components and deliver them to an assembly location.
  • After assembly. the product gets shipped to the buyer.
