The 1st item on this list is 3D metal printing, and includes this nice quote:

"In the short term, manufacturers wouldn’t need to maintain large inventories—they could simply print an object, such as a replacement part for an aging car, whenever someone needs it"
Replace aging car with aging ship...In MTU, as I mention in the Scout Waystation guide, huge 3D printers / makers can produce a large selection of stuff they need w/o having to ship things in.

Interesting article, lots more science there that researchers are working on too.

Question though: Where can I find the Waystation Guide you mention, I don't think I've come across it before.
 
I have to laugh. The mind is a terrible thing.

I saw this headline in the article: "Sensing City"

And my head pronounced that "Sen Sing City" and I was thinking "huh, this must be some model city in China where they're trying something."

Go to the files section, Misc, look for the Cyan world document. Its in there. It was dropped there months ago (almost a year now) so you will have to expand the items shown to get to the older stuff. The Scout Way Station starts on page 25 (I'm of the overly-zealous game prep mindset...)

edit: Cyan has a Scout Way Station according to TravellerMap and Wiki, so I made up my own as the definition of such a thing is a bit on the vague side (which is a good thing - lets players fill it in themselves)

Thank you, found it. Very interesting.
