As part of Make In Britain, an event hosted in collaboration with 3D Hubs, we discussed a future which is often determined as the Third Industrial Revolution but which we referred to as 'The Enlightenment'. It is about separating the technologies from the movements and paradigms developing around them. Think end to end systems approaches, knowledge and wealth sharing, localised production, small-scale and micro industries facilitated through decentralised networks and platforms.
