The future of manufacturing?

http://vimeo.com/12768578 
We viewed this Spanish animation on rapid prototyping in class yesterday. Could this be the future of manufacturing? Where certain products are made (desktops and not factories), when they are needed and customised to individual needs and preferences? If you are interested in such 'desktop' technologies have a look at http://www.makerbot.com/ or the open source http://www.fabathome.org/
