To be fair I'm probably not explaining myself that well.
Most large companies that manufactur or design have 3d printers today. Seeing them in action and seeing other manufacturing methods, I don't see how it becomes a viable mass producer of goods.
Nanobots are tiny theoritical robots that can change the atomic structure of atoms. So creating diamonds from wood and back again. 20 years is probably too soon but I'm thinking it's here in my lifetime. I'm in my early 30s fwiw.

I'm not sure anyone thinks 3d printing will ever be viable for mass production. The goal is more for rapid prototyping and iteration before mass production via other methods, or for custom, on-demand parts and products.
