Explore how we, therefore, need to re-orientate the environment, government policy and regulations to also welcome and price in 'deflation'.
Scott Summit is a designer who worked with Apple and creates 3D printing prosthetics. In this episode, Scott will discuss the future of digital manufacturing and how it's going to disrupt the supply chain specifically. He'll also touch on some of the exciting things happening with 3D printing and COVID-19. Suddenly 3D printing has the opportunity to show the world what it has to offer. The democratization of innovation brings more minds to the table. Unlike traditional manufacturing which is concentrated in a few locations throughout the world 3D printing is distributed. 3D printing is not about those things you can get at Costco. We are at a tipping point for 3D printing because we're transitioning from a prototyping process into a full manufacturing process. With our digital twin in the cloud we can have even more customizations. With 3D printing, anything is possible. It's a world of rapid cycles of cheap and easy prototyping
