Exactly. This is beyond guns, beyond laws and regulations, beyond anything that we could possibly imagine right now. I'm investing in several 3D printer companies because I feel as though 3D printers will only become more and more complex, producing higher resolution objects, working with different types of materials. The technology is relatively new, but it's here to stay: Open source world.

Manufacturing could be changed, if material goods are created from 3D printers. We've done amazing things with plastics, this is just the beginning. Vice tends to go a little overboard when it comes to their journalism, but generally it seems to be pretty straight forward.
