#Mindcandy are scenario prompts to help companies formulate strategy. Find out more here.

Scenario prompt 3 July 2025

The scenario prompt for 2 July 2025 is the democratising of 3D printing. If 3D printing is available in every household, what will that do to your. business model, your distribution and channel strategy?

The other prompts are DARPA, DNA sensors, quantum computing, Kevin Kelly and you are the upgrade.
