None of this is about open source machines though. No mention of reprap, the only thing even close is Makerbot Industries…once. The 3D printing revolution isn’t going to come from any of the other companies they list. They are stifled in patents, and already long ago had this technology. The revolution is going to come from people who are NOT those companies. Not 3D Systems for sure…which is already using patents to stifle innovation. Stratasys neither.

The revolution will come from the Makers… Some are just capable of using, or even building their own machines, but it is the Maker behind the machine that will flourish in this new manufacturing age.
