Sunday Focus: The 3-D Printing Onslaught continues.

     As we've previously noted, NASA is already planning to include 3-D printers on board future spacecraft...now the manufacturer of a more down to earth flyer is going to use them to make parts. 
     As soon as the science catches up with the demand.
     

....and the world's first car with a 3-D printer body has already been created, reports The Chicago Tribune.
      Technology is once again going to send shock waves through commerce, disrupting jobs and companies and products. And the impact will happen much faster than in previous generations. 
     The first printing press appeared in 1450...and there were presses in 2,500 cities in Europe within 50 years. 
     The First home computers emerged in the early 1980's and were standard in homes and businesses a decade later.
     3-D Printers first appeared in the early 90's, and are being used to make actual replacement body parts today. 
     The lesson of the day: take good care of yourself. The longer you extend your life these days, the better the odds there will be a way to fix your parts when they break down!
