[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 3909671, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.freightwaves.com/news/technology/fast-radius-ups-3d-printing'][B]Combo of 3D printing and fast shipping will lead next industrial revolution – or disrupt it - FreightWaves[/B][/URL] 3D printing first became feasible in 1981. In recent years the technology has been adopted by an increasing number of manufacturing companies to develop cheap prototypes for testing and to efficiently produce spare parts. 3D printing can produce any complex solid object with computer-aided design. Manufacturing applications for 3D printing include a wide range of complex machines from jet engines and smartphones to more simple goods like toys. Fast Radius has the backing of [URL='https://www.barchart.com/stocks/quotes/UPS']UPS[/URL] to manufacture products for its global supply-chain. “3D printing is becoming the face of manufacturing and distribution,” said David Abney, UPS Chairman and CEO. “It allows manufacturers to go from mass production to custom production.” Fast Radius’s presence is growing across UPS’s distribution network. Abney stated that there is now a 3D factory located at the UPS All-Points Hub in Louisville, Kentucky. He also asserted that UPS will be able to take orders for a non-existing product and deliver it the next day. [/QUOTE]
