Coworking Spaces and 3D Printing: Bringing Manufacturing to the Masses. The hype surrounding 3D printing is almost as tangible as the physical marvels it churns out. Bold claims have been made. Some believe that the dawn of 3D printing marks the end of manufacturing as we know it. Others foresee a highly anticipated revival of manufacturing in rich post-industrial countries.
The Economist, usually a purveyor of well-informed objectivity, even prophesises a third industrial revolution. Although in its infancy, the 'Maker Movement' is gaining a following of devotees, who want to design and make their own products, devices and spare parts. 3D printing is a facilitator and a catalyst for this flowering DIY culture. But it does not just merely at creation and customization. Experimentation with 3D printing is already under way – unlikely industries are already printing.
In keeping with the community ethos behind the ‘Maker Movement’, coworking spaces, the new pioneers of a collaborative approach to work, are embracing 3D printing.
