Making things faster, closer, differently: the section follows 3D printing as it moves from prototypes to production parts, industrial and warehouse robotics, machine tools, and the processes that change a cost or a lead time by an order of magnitude. This is where real reshoring is decided — the kind that holds through productivity, not decree.
