One Of The Dangers With 3D Printing

Sometimes a new technology can produce dangerous products.

Will 3D Printing Disrupt The Patent Industry?

 Could a 3d prototype replace drawings for patents?

Would the prototype show the original concept?

Could the code that is used to create a prototype be submitted as part of the patent?

Let's face it, unless you're a patent attorney or have an engineering background, a patent is very difficult to decipher. Seeing what the patent "does" using a prototype might solve a lot of the issues we face today.

3D Printer has a great story on why 3D printing and inventors may be a perfect match?

To adapt a cliché, one polished, functioning 3D prototype is worth a thousand words during a pitch to potential investors (who can pay for the patenting process, if desired) or a potential retailer.

 Another possible advantage of prototyping is if the product proves less than ideal on use, the inventor can test and optimize. It’s never a bad thing to hit the market with the most functional expression of a new idea.

I wonder how this could affect the patent submission process?

(My view)
3d printing opens a world of opportunity for entrepreneurs and inventors.
"manufacturing" isn't dead in the U.S., it is very much alive. Gone are the days of big buildings making widgets replaced with a 3d printer and a little creativity.

Piracy In The Future



 As digital content gets easier to produce and distribute, managing it will be a huge industry to watch.

It isn't just about sharing music, it's much bigger.

BigThink has a great story about where privacy is headed.

the future of digital downloading will move quickly beyond music, movies and software into the copying and reproduction of physical objects

While the entertainment industry represents a lot of money, it is nothing compared to the world's manufacturing base, i.e. most of the world's economy

In my book (How To Find Big Stocks), I discuss waves like 3D printing and digital rights. Orion Jones gives us an idea what happens when these two waves meet (and they will).

There is technology now, that allows any digital content owner (this includes 3D printers) to "lock" a piece of digital content to a specified device AND track the content on the Net for illegal reproduction and distribution.

The ease of production and distribution (and duplication) has created a conundrum for digital content owners. I discuss this wave as one to watch in my book.

Some Investing Waves To Keep An Eye On


I turned $10k into $2.8m in two years by identifying BIG investable waves early on, and finding the companies that would have the competitive advantage in them.

Here are a few waves that are coming with a headline that lets you know they are getting ready to break. In my book, How To Find Big Stocks, I call the point when a wave is ready to break, a "rupt".


Inserting ads into TV reruns
This wave is called the TV meets the Net wave in my book.

Personalized Medicine
I call this the "proactive not reactive medicine wave" in the book. This wave stands to create more millionaires than the Internet did.

The new asset, intellectual property

Patents are the new raw material for the US economy wave. There is an estimated $1T of assets on the books that will be monetized.

Apps for VOIP
You saw the boom with apps for the iPhone, get ready for another wave of app designers and market.

3D Printing will disrupt manufacturing and pose problems for copyright owners
Easy replication of objects is great for manufacturing but a nightmare for copyright owners. How does it get resolved?
