“It’s going to be interesting to live through the “oops” moment when Generation XBox discovers that China has no intention of machining replacement parts, that an XBox can’t just print them, that Americans no longer have the machining skills (or machines) to do it themselves... and that they are at war with enemies who do.”
It’s not going to happen. :-)
Manufacturing is enjoying a resurgence in the US, and there are plenty of good engineers here. Even young ones...
It’s ironic that you mention printing them on Xbox. Robotics and automation are the key technologies.
