3D Printing Quotes

“The next episode of 3D printing will involve printing entirely new kinds of materials. Eventually we will print complete products – circuits, motors, and batteries already included. At that point, all bets are off.” ~Hod Lipson
“Want to watch a beautiful process? Search “3D printed home” on youtube and click one of the videos. It’s like squeezing toothpaste from a tube. Such a simple idea with astonishing opportunities.” ~Dave Waters
“Automation is no longer just a problem for those working in manufacturing. Physical labor was replaced by robots; mental labor is going to be replaced by AI and software.” ~Andrew Yang
“Manufacturing is more than just putting parts together. It’s coming up with ideas, testing principles and perfecting the engineering, as well as final assembly.” ~James Dyson
