Re: What will be the next technical growth leap for the average team?

The next big step is going to be the continued development of consumer-grade machine tools. Additive manufacturing capability is already percolating down to the hobbyist and prosumer levels, and teams have adopted that technology already. As we see similar developments in affordable CNC mills/routers/lathes/combo machines, I suspect we'll see significant strides in machinery capabilities of teams who work out of classrooms and garages.
