Last night at SCAD’s Trustee Theater Chris Anderson gave a lecture about the future of innovation and the economy.
Basically right now anyone has the ability to invent and mass produce their designs.
Through using a 3D modeling software program like: Google’s Sketchup, RHINO, or CAD, etc. you can then upload those files to www.shapeways.com to create a prototype.
Then by using www.alibaba.com you can instant message Chinese manufacturers and mass produce your product from 100 to 1,000,000+ taking out the flight to China, drinking with factory owners, and awkward conversations.
You can also utilize Hackerspaces which are places that are filled with Laser Cutters, 3D printers, CNC Machines, all the software… and a community of forward thinkers which anyone can be a part of for around $60.00-$100.00 a month. They are located in most cities.
Is a small community of car designers that utilize this DIY spirit and create amazing cars in micro-factories.
A really cool thing about this company is that in 6 days you can design and build your own car. You sit in a pod surrounded by robot arms wearing a sweet flight suit next to a mechanic and by the end of the long weekend you drive away.
