There is a 3D printing company called Prusa that actually makes all of the plastic parts for their 3D printers with 3D printers, haha.

Yeah. That makes sense.
It is an example that I didnt think of citing. 3D printing is a great way to comprehend the "machine creating machines".
Yeah, it certainly opens up options we didn't have before as small producers.
Just the starting point. Robots are going to really change things.
Imagine the day when you want to build a rocket, you can do it. 3D printing is certainly part of the massive shift that is going to take place.
I have to get back to watching that field closer. Been a couple years since I delved into it deeply. Use to follow it daily.
The tech just keeps improving. My newest printer is a freaking beast for a mini machine, lol. The quality is top notch, it's fast as hell, and it does all of its own calibrations and such. The best part is it senses when things are not right and will pick back up where you left off, say if your filament gets stuck or you run out, or even if the power goes out. I am starting a gardening product business with them and it's been fun just learning the whole process as well as the 3D design work that comes with it.
With a combination of other robotics, things are going to get interesting in the future for sure. It will still take humans to babysit and maintain these robots though, so that is where people will need skills and such.
It is very interesting how things are progressing.
New business opportunities are going to open for millions.
