Currently mobile phones are made up of 6 different parts. Now imagine a 3D printing world where the entire phone is one solid brick device with zero gaps too open it up.
A boeing 747 aircraft has more than 6 million moving parts, now imagine that 3D printed as just a few hundred parts at most.
3D printers in the future would reduce item complexity so much that even smaller companies would be able too easily make products that would have been considered too complex in the current era. Imagine just making a single engine instead of putting it together with thousands of little pieces. It would save up so much time and expenditure in manufacturing. You could probably have global costs of production go down 10-100X over a generation (30 years ).
SpaceX is already using 3D printing too simplify the complexity of number of parts in their engines. There is already proof out there that 3D printing helps with designing better product.
Now all we need is 3-6 more generations of 3D printers until we get too the point where like a microwave at home you have a food printer you can print food out of as per you're choosing.
The future is looking awesome.
