Here is an interesting twist to the whole 3D printing and
DIY manufacturing I've been following and writing about. Makerbot is unable to keep up with demand for their very cool $750 3D printer and so they have turned to their customer base and asked them to manufacture some of the parts for them. Read on and I think you too will see see a whole new
dimension of of both the crowdsourcing phenomena and on an even larger scale the beginnings of a new era in manufacturing and what some are calling the next industrial revolution.
Certainly this is all in the very early stages and has a long way to go before this is mainstream, but I think the implications are enormous and NOW is the time for us to begin thinking about how this will affect us and how we will be prepared to take full advantage as it evolves as I'm equally convinced that the rate of this change will be exponential like almost all other change.
As but one example, I am of the opinion that this and other changes are ushering in a new industrial revolution that will be as dramatic a change of our world as was the first industrial revolution and the move from an agrarian society to an industrial one. One of the most important requirements will be an equal amount of change in the education and training required of the new workforce. Just as it was the demands of the first industrial revolution which drove most the educational and pedagogical models and systems we have still have today and I think we will see this same degree of influence from this next new industrial revolution.
MUCH more to follow ......

Makerbot is Asking You to Help Make More Makerbots
August 17th, 2009 by Aaron Saenz
So here’s a situation we’ve all been in. You just started a new company that builds and sells table top 3D printers. To save money, and be a badass, you use your 3D printers to make parts so you can build more 3D printers. Then, too late, you realize that you can’t keep up with your production schedule because your printer is too popular. Man, if I had a nickel…
Write very well, there are some others that resonate.

i didn't know that there is a 3D printer. but I thought that the normal printer could do the work fine. but I was wrong. Also the prices is way to high.
Posted by: Generic Viagra | March 09, 2011 at 11:19 PM
Price doesn't matter because the printer is comercial only. So normal user don't have to be awared of the printer.
