Sweatshops’ actions warrant a boycott for their abuses of human rights. Sweatshops…

Most Americans think of manufacturing as something that happens very far away. They believe that it has nothing to do with them, they are simply the consumer of the end product. Three-dimensional (3D) printing is drastically different from all current models of production and it is starting to blur the line between consumers and producers (Finocchiaro). This new technology allows physical products to be printed as easily as words can be printed on a piece of paper and is rapidly becoming more…
