麥肯錫公司最近出版了一本堪稱未來科技備忘錄的新書,列舉了“12個最具顛覆性的科技趨勢”,比如物聯網、無人駕駛汽車、3D打印、基因組學、儲能技術和高級材料等等,它們最有潛力改變當今的商業圖景。
3D打印 被炒得火熱的增材制造尚未取代傳統制造技術,但隨著3D打印系統變得更廉價、更智能,這一情況將發生改變。作者們寫道:“未來,3D打印將重新定義實物商品的銷售和分銷。”比如購買一雙鞋的電子圖紙,然后回到家將它們打印出來。書中指出,“隨著消費者和企業開始打印自己的產品,生產過程將‘大眾化’。” |
3D printing Much-hyped additive manufacturing has yet to replace traditional manufacturing technologies, but that could change as systems get cheaper and smarter. “In the future, 3D printing could redefine the sale and distribution of physical goods,” the authors say. Think buying an electric blueprint of a shoe, then going home and printing it out. The book notes that “the manufacturing process will ‘democratize’ as consumers and entrepreneurs start to print their own products." |
