Small scale manufacturing would be better, it would fit our individual needs better, yet it is very expensive.  In order to create a more diverse world, one future scenario might be that people manufacture downloaded designs at home. Have a look at the Microfactory MOW project and get inspired by new directions and possibilities.  This is a portable tabletop cutting device that can slice through light sheet materials like cardboard, polypropylene and wood under 2mm thick.
