The New Industrial Revolution is Now!
/A Revolution in the Making
"For big companies, it means a swath of new tools to build smarter, leaner factories and explore innovative new products, materials and techniques that weren't possible before. And thanks to plummeting prices, small companies have access to better, cheaper manufacturing equipment and design tools—giving even one-person startups the chance to create market-shaking innovations."
Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal posted an article highlighting the advances in modern technology that can lead to more specialized and advanced production in the United States. Advances that include: large data collection, cloud based measurement, the access and affordability of 3D printing and additive manufacturing.
This is very exciting to have innovative and creative technology merging to disrupt traditional inefficient (by today's standards) industries. We can even see this in modern companies emerging today.
Take CONSTRVCT, a company who just completed the TechStars accelerator program, and is revolutionizing fashion design, using 3D modeling while incorporating traditional sewing and cutting technique to make each design unique.
These tools and resources are opening up a whole new window of opportunity for American Made makers and manufacturers.
