3D printing could enable localized manufacturing in an interesting way and boost local economies. What do you think?

I Agree, many micro and medium enterprises can utilize this technology

I agree with you. 

With 3D printing, the production output speed is already assured. If the quality assurance and the raw materials supply chain are ensured, the potency in 3D would be unimaginably unleashed in its contributions towards economic growth.

I Agree, The global manufacturing sector makes up 16% of the global economy as The World Economic Forum has estimated the overall value of the global digital transformation to business and society across all industries  in the next ten years. And is on the verge of being fundamentally transformed by a 4th industrial revolution which is 3D printing (frequently called additive manufacturing, which incorporates multiple technologies including 3D printing), a key element of this global analog-to-digital disruption. (Next to the 1st, 2nd  & 3rd mechanical production, mass production & production automation revolutions).

On this 4th industrial revolution, will fundamentally transform manufacturing. New technologies such as artificial intelligence, augmented reality, advanced robotics, and smart devices are blurring the line between the digital and physical worlds – by 3D printing.

So - 3D printing :- pave the way to become the next global design and manufacturing leader, will fundamentally change the way we conceive, design, produce, distribute, and consume nearly everything, with enormous impact to jobs, industries, and economies, can help to cut their costs by reducing storage spaces needed, traditional methods of manufacturing which are unnecessary time, material & labor consuming, and others.

 

 So, I agree that it can be done by a key element 3D printing which is the 4th industrial revolution.

Agree, many micro and medium enterprises can utilize this technology to boost their products launching and developing. Similar to CNC machines revolution, 3D printing can create many options in this field.

This kind of storage costs money but an advantage of 3D printing is that it can help businesses to cut their costs by reducing the amount of storage space they need. Traditional methods are time consuming which meant that is was cost efficient to produce goods in high volumes for storage.

Yes, it will but it will take time to roll off in Pakistan.
