Readings:

• Forbes article on 3D printing competition and Chapter 4 of Birtchnell, Thomas and William Hoyle. 3D Printing for Development in the Global South: The 3D4D Challenge., p. 67-79 (optional: skim Chapters 1-5 of the same book to get a deeper picture of the challenges and opportunities here).
