Amazon is perfectly happy to print books on demand for low-circulation paperback books [1].

The kind of build-on-demand system that could print an iPhone then a DVD then a pushchair then a fitted shirt then a delicious tomato then a bottle of olive oil is a long way off. I'd happily bet $10 that such technology won't be commonplace by 2040.
