One of the most notable new technologies enabling greater customization and local production is additive manufacturing, such as 3D printing.38 Using additive manufacturing, the same machines can produce goods with different features simply by changing the digital file that is used to provide the blueprint

further improves and costs decline, its use may extend to sectors such as energy, robotics, and consumer and retail products. However, the costs associated with additive manufacturing suggest that the technology may in the near future be limited to high-value industries. There are also several other technical and commercial limitations. Most

notably, additive manufacturing is primarily geared toward low-volume production where there are few scale economies and where traditional manufacturing methods are therefore not available.42 Currently, there

are few applications that are suitable for mass production. As soon as production volume increases, the cost advantage associated with additive manufacturing will wane. Even with low-volume production, additive manufacturing often remains more expensive than traditional manufacturing methods because of factors such as high materials costs, slow buildup rates, and the long
