macrofab.com - full pcb etching and routing with component assembly for SMBs or hobbyists. Although this technology exists to an extent today, I think eventually "2 day delivery" of fully assembled customed circuits + the ability to instantly scale up will enable a lot of new hardware innovation.

having worked on a professional but very low volume product, ordering took about an afternoon. all the rest of it took months.

and there are already assembly companies in most major cities that will take your money and files and just make a thing happen. not clear how this is different enough to change anything.

getting it made just isn’t the hard part for anything interesting (and small).

Agreed on MacroFab, though I think CircuitHub takes that concept to the next level by having project cloning and forking built in.
