  1. There’s one problem with that plan: China has wholly failed to move up the value-added manufacturing chain. As a result, they’re losing the lower-value manufacturing with nothing to replace it.

  2. It’s still vastly more efficient to have traditional manufacturing for most products vs additive manufacturing.

  3.  @casnimot  Not really. You run into problems with thermodynamics where you need to move the printer head too quickly to make it run very fast. A traditional machine factory can create a plastic bottle in seconds. Trying to do that on a 3D printer just isn’t going to happen, because it needs to be able to adapt to multiple different types of products it prints out. Basically, economics of scale is the problem.
