We all know the importance of manufacturing on any nation's economy. 3D Printing promises to one day potentially bring millions of jobs back to American soil from overseas. At the same time it threatens to destroy China's economy, which is based on cheap manufacturing labor. Because of this, China is working on a blueprint which will try and expand their additive manufacturing footprint. They will seek to grow several large additive manufacturing companies over the next few years, as well as create an 3D printing investment fund. The full details of the plans can be found here: http://3dprint.com/7016/china-3d-printing-plan/

Do you think that 3D printing will help the U.S. repatriate millions of jobs? Do you think China will catch up with the U.S., who is currently the leader in the additive manufacturing space?
