Description:

In this episode, we discuss the positive benefits of 3D printing to supply chains including landed cost, last mile delivery and prototyping. We look at the overcapacity issue happening with ocean containers and the first ships through the expanded Panama Canal. Also, will Reg be the only person watching the live stream of the first ship? Finally, we look at the NHL and NBA finals.
