Stratfor
The world is in the early stages of another industrial revolution, one that could reverse some aspects of globalization. Additive manufacturing, more commonly known as 3-D printing, as well as intelligent industrial robotics and other software-based manufacturing technologies, are reducing the advantage of low labor costs.

New Atlas
Desktop Metal - remember the name. This Massachussetts company is preparing to turn manufacturing on its head, with a 3D metal printing system that's so much faster, safer and cheaper than existing systems that it's going to compete with traditional mass manufacturing processes.

Futurity
3D printing takes so long because the machines vibrate too much when running quickly. New software could fix that.

3D printing technology enables doctors and pharmaceutical companies to manufacture drugs tailored to the specific needs of individual patients--taking into account their age, weight, race, and kidney and liver functions to increase the effectiveness while reducing side-effects. Yet what are the potential effects of 3D printed drugs on the medical industry?
