Everyone will soon be able to design products or 'purchase a design' and have these produced either at their local manufacturing centre or, if the piece is small enough, at their at-home fabber. The ball is already rolling for a central platform that have downloadable designs from it, acting both as a storer of designs, sourcer of buyers, and partner of credible manufacturers. So as a consumer you can download from a credible source and fab at home or from your local fab manufacturing centre. This future is being built by innovative firms like www.desktopfactory.com and www.ulsinc.com (who also provide the desktop manufacturing hardware you need) and http://www.ponoko.com who provides the personal manufacturing platform you need to buy, sell and share your product designs, and to make them for real with the click of your mouse. So cool! ;~} I completely agree with the Moores and think our future is getting more and more personal.
