- Summary:
- The Great Disruption is real, and it is inevitable. This is not a matter of if but how soon. That's why we have written this book, not to dazzle you with gee-whiz technology that often seems ripped from the pages of science fiction (although that's part of the story), but to convince you that 3D printing will be enormously disruptive to your industry in your lifetime. Throughout this book we will explain why the relevant question is no longer whether historic, sweeping change is coming. Instead, you should ask: "What can I and my organization be doing right now to prepare for this emerging future so that I will not only be able to survive but thrive?" Book jacket.
