3. No skill in manufacturing needed
“Manufacturing” with 3D printing really consists of pushing the “on” button. By contrast, CNCs require operators. Today, kids are printing complex parts on their 3D printers.

Very Nice Post @ Leslie Langnau
Before 3D printing existed, products were specifically designed to fit in the traditional manufacturing technologies. Since 3D printers can make finished products, this so-called design for manufacturing is not necessary any more.
Thanks For Sharing.

Good post. One of the most important benefits from a designer’s perspective is the ability to prove a design concept before investing in a high cost steel mold that will be used to create millions of parts. I don’t see 3D printing eliminating the need for traditional (subtractive) manufacturing methods, but rather supplement it.
