Yeah well sometimes the image of the future isnt really what it turns out to be.
Personally I prefer the "Replicator" from Star Trek. That will make the production of anything inexpensive and near instant.

I'm not ready for Star Trek-style transporters, but replicators for food would be awesome. We may be on the road to that and other things with 3D printers. It would be nice for us to use technology from Stargate to travel across vast stretches of space.

Molecular assemblers and carbon nanofactories are even more interesting.
3-D printing is going to be a phase in the process. Things are moving quickly.

3-D printing is definitely an early step in the evolution of replication technology. One good use for it these days is to compensate for the supply chain crunch by printing parts that are needed on a small scale, especially if the parts aren't easy to acquire to begin with.
