Has strong opinions about how 3D printing would help education

The article is talking about cloud computing creating jobs around the world, nd how it helps businesses.

Proves by giving examples of how 3D printers have helped improve schooling systems.

This article is about how a 3D printing accessory can be used to recycle plastics into filaments used for 3D printing which will help reduce waste.

This website is a go-to place to get information and help in decision-making about open access publications and articles.

This article discusses the effects that 3D printing would have due to it being a decentralized process. This means that large plants and factories that export to foreign regions would not have to exist. Also, he discusses the low costs of energy and labor to produce products.

This article discusses many effects of 3D printings. One is how it affects transportation. It also talks about how people can make their own "desktop factories." Anyone can create his or her own objects, or objects can be created locally in 3D printing stores.

This article contains a section that specifically discusses geopolitics. This article, similar to many others found, says that overseas manufacturing facilities could become obsolete, bringing production back to countries that tend to import many goods. Also, 3D printing would allow for less developed countries to obtain goods that are currently not available to them.

This is a really insightful article Josh. I learned many things about 3D printing that I didn't know before.

This is a good article for a basis of knowledge surrounding 3D printing. It contains many basic details about the process, such as how it works and some potential uses for it. It does also discuss some changes in manufacturing processes that will result from an increased use of 3D printing.
