This would be important if America was the only country in the world. But it's not, and the development of 3d printing technology will continue unimpeded.

Although, much of the Western world's governments at least, particularly here in Australia, are eager to kowtow and follow the American government.   Certainly here, our politicians seem to look up to those in America as something to aspire to.   Roll Eyes

I didn't hear the address, but can't say I'd be surprised if .gov tried to lock down 3D printing with regulations, "investment programs" (think solyndra) and such. It has too much potential to not try and fuck it all up.
Let's hope so!

It always amazes me that people in Democrat-controlled states are so excited about Obama. They always seem to point to the Republican failures and that makes them feel good.

I suppose the strategy of pitting us against each other is working. If you're in an "R" state you're supposed to hate on the D's but never think for yourself. Smiley

Don't let them divide and conquer. Think for yourself.
Amen. If the left and the right ever figure out they are resisting the same enemy a third party would destroy this silly Dem Vs. Rep. stuff. 

What's funny too, is the brainwashing not only makes them direct everything bad that happens at the other party, but also everything good that happens at themselves. The other day I was talking to a die-hard republican friend of mine, and he was absolutely convinced that the Republicans were the main proponents of the civil rights movement and that Democrats were the only pro-segregation force that was stopping it from happening.
lol. classic. Or maybe he was thinking of the 1860's instead of the 1960's.

Let's talk governance, lipstick, and pigs.
Don't worry, it's just talk. It's not like Congress will allow any funding for it unless they are used to build war machines.

He wants to take government malinvestment and form a federal monopoly on the 3d printing industry. This crony capitalism will limit the technology to the whims of government and the military. Any power that could come from peer-to-peer manufacturing is gone from the people.

Thanks, Obama.
