Glad you pointed out the bit about utensils. Also a very interesting point about the internet of things. However if you look at a basic definition of internet of things (maybe there are more accurate), you can see that those would pretty much be "gadgets that talk to each other". Maybe the decentralization you mentioned would rather be the effect of internet of things rising than the goal of internet of things?
Production + delivery in one service. I wonder how will online shops embrace this new situation. This model has a chance for large disruption. I wonder if producers (or in this case designers) will deliver 3d printable (i.e. 3d printing optimised) versions of their products to take part in this model.
Yes, very similar. However there is still room for improvement. Maybe Disney found a solution to make cleaner models, leading to a 3d-print ready solution. With 123D you need to spend time on cleaning the mesh.
Gahh! 9 out of 10 times, software made in academia has cool features but awful code/structure/packaging/younameit. In this case, the Linux (!) tarball contains Windows binaries and a handwritten Makefile that is not able to compile even the first source file. What a pity.
