Yes but 3d printing is still just a tool like any other, not even that new a tool it was hampered by patents for years
Cheap printing lets us make stuff like rocket engines cheaper, but it's never likely to make plastic parts more cheaply than injection moulding in volume.
(Rocket labs engines aren't really 'electric' they have electric turbopumps which is really doable because of changes in battery technology rather than fabbing tech)

here's a timely Salon article .... basically our growing income disparity is a symptom of us not handling technological change well - yes the robots are coming to take away our jobs, and if we can figure out how to spread the resulting wealth, rather than creating a 1% and an underclass they we're all going to be better off - don't we all want a 4 day week?

If all the great jobs move to country X because of TPPA but you can't move there and take them it's not a fair treaty
