I opened a thread to discuss this, to avoid hijacking this one:

> [@The Home Manufacturing Thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-home-manufacturing-thread/940021):

> In the [Industries Ripe for Disruption](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/industries-ripe-for-disruption/939859) thread, I mentioned manufacturing, and the future of distributed, bespoke manufacturing at home. I said, I thought this would be a good thread to maintain to discuss issues around this including 3D printing, CNC machining at home, CAD/CAM design at home, programming and electronics design, services for producing products, etc. Pretty much anything involved with designing and creating products as a small or one-person shop with low-cost manufacturing…
