Reproduction

Reproduction means accessibility for the many; reproduction of production even more so. In contrast to the increasingly specialized machinery of industrial production at large, nowadays peer and open workshops equip themselves with ‘self-replicating’ 3D printers like RepRap and MakerBot. Do these machines have the potential to pose a challenge to industrial production? Will the peers pair that challenge and change the global production landscape as Gutenberg and the steam engine once did? Can digitization really affect the physical?
