The “second industrial revolution came in the early 20th century, when Henry Ford mastered the moving assembly line and ushered in the age of mass production.” The third revolution “is under way” and that consists of manufacturing “going digital.” Second Industrial Revolution

Airbus would like to make a 3D printer that is large enough to make planes from the ground up – a hangar-size printer as large as 80m x 80m.a hangar-size printer Made In Space is a US company experimenting with zero- gravity 3D printing. The process could potentially allow astronauts to print objects as required in space, saving valuable weight at launch.Made In Space NASA has been looking at 3D printing for some time now, and considering the technology for long missions where astronauts could create their own equipment during the trip.NASA has been looking at 3D printing Advanced Manufacturing

Medical Procedures Custom hearing aids and braces. Body parts, including ears, hips and even organs, in exact proportions to fit the patient. In February 2012, surgeons successfully implanted an entire titanium jaw, made with 3D printing, in an elderly woman. implanted an entire titanium jaw Customized Prosthetic Hands - ROBOHAND
