post- scarcity economy

Based on the conversation around yesterday’s Idea Channel Video, describe the concept of the post-scarcity economy. Do you think this idea is viable? How do you think 3D printers will evolve during your lifetime, and how will they impact the economy?

The concept is there is unlimited resources and you can make anything happen.I think it might not be viable because we will eventually run out of resources 3D printers will probably evolve more and more as time go on, and they will print like food and everyday think.I think it will make the economy boost because it will be mass production
