Restoring manufacturing as the heart of our economy!

  Restoring manufacturing as the heart of our economy!


Dunn R. I believe the key to future manufacturing is rapid development and prototyping based on open source CAD. All tat is left is raw material and file distribution.

I believe this is why the Chinese are after us now as in the future, their labor will be worth nothing. In such a world this is simply just another household appliance.

If you laugh at this, consider the block for a diesel engine has already been produced this way. Some manufactureres have alrady demonstrated complicated moving part systems which are built never to be opened up with the moving parts in situ, this includes gearing systems. 3D pc boards are now manufactured in this way.

All this is possible because of the bubble jet print head modified for various forms of sintering.

The idea thus becomes king and the currency of the future. Distribution of finished goods is not the problem, rather raw materials to feed these units.

There are a few other technologies of interest but I have to stop pontificating and get back to work.
