3. 3D Printing

5. In his 2013, second term State of the Union address, President Obama mentioned 3D
printing, that it "has the potential to revolutionize the way we make almost
everything." He mentioned the additive manufacturing hub the US government is
helping to fund in Youngstown Ohio and three more they are about to launch,
suggesting Congress should "create a network of 15 of these hubs and guarantee that
the next revolution in manufacturing is made in America."

32. RepRap
Replicating Rapid-prototyper

33. “A self-replicating machine is a construct that is
capable of autonomously manufacturing a copy of itself
using raw materials taken from its environment”

34. RepRap takes the form of a free
desktop 3D printer capable of printing
plastic objects. Since many parts of
RepRap are made from plastic and
RepRap prints those parts, RepRap
self-replicates by making a kit of itself -
a kit that anyone can assemble given
time and materials.
“RepRap is humanity's first general-purpose self-
replicating manufacturing machine”
