I guess that means there is only a market for one lathe[1] and one milling
machine[2] since when you buy one, you can then make your own.

Anyway, a universal machine maker would likely run of nano technology, and
once we reach that level of technology, all bets are off. The game changes and
suddenly a lot of businesses are buggy whip manufactures.

The money made to be made (and saved) is based off the prototypes of products
created using 3D printing that are mocked up and tweaked, before the designs
are handed over to a production line to mass produce.

3D printing has created a useful and affordable process for
engineers/creatives/etc to mock up products that would've otherwise been very
expensive to outsource, especially with the back and forth between vendors to
modify designs.

It seems to me that the same logic could be used to argue that there is no

The author's arguement makes grand leaps of logic that sound great - but won't
hold up in the short term of the next 10 years. In 30 years, the price of such
a service will become a commidity - like our ink jet printers today. The
author uses language that could easily be used in the same vein as describing
the creation of the Earth as a non-event.

Rather silly article on many fronts. Not everyone has enough cash to get the
machine. Those who do, can profit off their downpayment by renting or selling
the goods it makes.

To say that model wont turn a profit is silly. Its a rather old business
model...
