Manufacturing Predictions - The Future of the Manufacturing Industry

What will the future of manufacturing be like? Imagine needing a new part for a household appliance. You could order it, get it made locally and get it delivered to your door within a couple of hours. Advances in 3D Printing and additive manufacturing will reduce waste even more, making it possible to create products and components that we can't make now. Everything will be connected by the Internet of Things to ensure that supply can keep track of changes in demand. Robots will take care of the repetitive, dangerous processes so that people can focus on matters where human interaction is so valuable.
