Digital fabrication and customization

  There are two important advances that will hopefully become common place in the market. The first involves advances in digital fabrication technology and the second involves customization. We continue to search for digital fabrication technologies whose possibilities far outstrip it’s creators.

    For example a body shop that needs a new bumper. Could print it there in the shop instead of sending away for that exotic cars part days away for a fraction of the cost. Even the local junkyard soon become a maker space that lets you fit the puzzle of what someone has recently turned in to your own intentions.

 On the medical front a custom IV for each patient stored on your biometric thumb drive. Which allows for a quicker recovery time and less risky intubation especially for older patients and very young patients.
