Answer:

New technology in additive manufacturing. I.E. 3D PRINTING

Step-by-step explanation:

3D printing will probably change the way many products are manufactured, but the third industrial revolution is not about 3D printing, is about electronics and information technologies. Computers and the internet have changed our world completely. Even 3D printing is based on computers, it would be like a mini revolutionary branch of a total world scale revolution.

Generally speaking the third industrial revolution is already on its way and it refers to electronics and information technology used to automate production. Some people even believe that a fourth and more disruptive industrial revolution is on its way, artificial intelligence (AI). AI is building up over the shoulders of the third revolution and actually no one really knows how it will end. Some people are very pessimistic about robots controlling the world while others believe robots will save humanity.
