Build Your Own Virtual Motorcycle Company - The Kneeslider

The Kneeslider has a very interesting article up on Virtual Manufacturing. Very interesting... I think this is still a little ways off, for something as indepth as vehicles, though I guess it is basically what Cafepress is doing if you look at it right.
Maybe it's time for me to polish up those designs for a camper trailer for two-wheelers...

In the United States and elsewhere, manufacturing jobs are heading overseas, factories large and small can no longer compete selling the one thing they sell, but if they can re-purpose some of their machines and rent out the capacity along with their skilled operators, maybe you can build that motorcycle and your neighbor can build that car and the guy down the street can start a furniture company, kinda makes you think doesn’t it? Rent every piece you need from initial design and engineering to manufacturing to warehousing to shipping, … a virtual company manufacturing and selling physical products.
