Yep 3D printing can have a much bigger impact and the single biggest thing we can do to drive it is move that purple dot to the left (we focus more on total per part cost, not just material cost, but harder to get good data for that) @Formlabs is currently a low-profile success in this area. Working on some stuff that will turn us into a high-profile success... 😉

It is literally too cheap to meter. Pair it with battery and its hard to compete with. Biggest cost is installation so need more innovation there

@Andercot I love 3D printing so much haha
11:16 AM · Jul 15, 20263D printing is so obviously the future of so much yet entirely slept on by the current reindustrialization movement because of some high profile failures before the industry reached either a sizable market penetration or technological maturity
