LOVE it Man, Really Excited!!

I enjoyed this. I have to present an argument on this too and its given me a lot to focus and discuss and have definitely helped me to start my presentation thank you and some of the products there were so cool.

Good job. Light weight and flexible material, mother nature has her reasons.

As more high-end design programs are becoming available to the general public,(for free),, anyone will be able to take advantage of additive manufacturing processes, at an ever growing local basis. Re-engineering tradition material applications, will lead the way to reducing the cost of custom projects and their design iterations.

I thought we were going to hear Cam's story...

What are the current innovation in metal 3d printing?

have you seen the AI printed quadcopter? it looks like something nature made

I found this presentation gimmicky.

It won't "democratize" manufacturing. Many 3D printers and the materials needed to do the printing will stay out of reach of most people. What it will do is allow those with access to sit at their computer all day doodling and have a machine do everything for them. For those who don't have access, they'll see their opportunities for advancement through labor decrease even more. More glut for the low paying, part-time service job sector.

The dystopian cast to your argument is justified to the extent the culture (read, politics, education and aspiration) does not support technical expertise. But that expertise is not inherently an economic class asset or barrier to others-- consider the "sophisticated" typical consumer of today, compared to what passed for competence in the last century. We need not understand how a car ignition works to operate a car, yet a surprising number of people have "democratized" even the technical understanding behind it and are able to do their own technical work-- and help their neighbors learn. That is why STEM education is a basic path to sharing economic and political power, and why politicians of the status quo do not want to fund such education for every citizen. Truth be told, some politicians would rather not fund even literacy, because literacy is the means to use complex information, and to change the laws determining our economic and political prospects.

take this down. its too old. Were so far beyond this metal additive manu

"Selelivly...selectively..." Come on, man. They're not big words.
