"The future of higher education: reshaping universities through 3D printing":
""If you look back at libraries over 2,000 years -- including the Library of Alexandria -- you'll see that they were involved in buying technology that many people cannot afford and making them more accessible,"
...
"The biggest mistake we made is when we let books crowd out the users and libraries became a quiet place where there's no talking and no food and drinks," Colegrove said. "We need to adjust from having conversations in users' heads to a collaborative environment." (Moi ici: Faz lembrar os escritos de Eco sobre as bibliotecas)
...
Thanks to a combination of university gift funds and grants, the library soon acquired its two 3D printers. The 3DTouch arrived first on April 27th and was printing its first job -- a rotor for an impeller pump prototype designed by a group of engineering students -- just minutes later. The rotor would take three days to finish.

"The students just broke the box open and started printing right away," said Lisa Kurt, DeLaMare's engineering and emerging technologies librarian. "They just looked so excited and you could feel this tremendous energy."

"NYC Continues Creating Jobs at All-Time Record Pace"

"“The first is an exciting new competition we’re launching – called ‘New York’s Next Top Makers’ – to promote 3D printing and innovation. 3D printing allows consumers to design and manufacture 3D objects, often at low cost. ‘New York’s Next Top Makers’ will act as a business accelerator, helping local entrepreneurs, inventors and designers bring their product ideas to life."

"European Commission is Funding Research on Mini Factories for Customized, Decentral Production"

"1. Scale reduction and increased flexibility of production systems in order to satisfy the special requirements of the local flexible mini-production units, which have to show a competitive advantage compared to the traditional larger factories in terms of space, complexity and operator skills.

2. Adaptive control and automation systems for local flexible production with high customisation capabilities, where manufacturing operations and sequences need to accommodate to the highly unpredictable customer demands.

3. New engineering solutions, including integrated CAD-CAM, able to automatically adapt product features to specific customer demands and accordingly configure processes and machines for local production." (aqui) (aqui)
