Next to the democratisation of data we see also the production process becoming available for everyone. 3D printing is on the rise and the technology is becoming available for everyone. This could mark a fundamental change in the production process originated in the industrial era.
The makers revolution is originated from Chris Anderson and is evolving as a trend from 2006. We now see this trend becoming more visible for everyone. Since 2006 we saw companies like Maker Faires, HackerSpaces and Techshops redefine the way we design and produce products. With the rise of robotics, the democratisation of knowledge and the invention of the 3d printer the tradtional production process is going to be reset. Everyone can be a designer, producer and distributor in one.
