everything depends on something. regardless, rochard was right, 3d printing will fundamentally change manufacturing. You can realize this now and make moves to be a part of that or sit back and watch it unfold. But to handwave off the this leap in tech, saying it's not going to change anything, is short sighted.
and let's not mince words, this is a profound leap forward in manufaturing technology.
