quantitatively and qualitatively—could make or break the product launch. That’s a single data point. Now imagine
a flood of data points 365 days a year.

18. 3D Printing Means Everyone Becomes A One-Person Factory

the designs they’ve created; how might those scale models be used to popularize and sell fashion? The
possibilities are endless. The impacts will be enormous.

be browsed and customized online and ordered at the click of a button.
