Episode 120: Technology & Capital & The Death of 3D Printing

June 08, 2015

New or Cheap? What Drives Innovation? We often think that it is invention, the creation of new things. In fact, it is more likely to be a combination of technology and money - the amount of capacity per dollar, if you will.

It also considers whether the Twinkie(tm), the popular snack treat,is actually a product of the new printers.
