A veteran toy buyer has come up with a 3D printer at $200. More business than he can handle of course.
A 3D printer will speed things up, but not improve the quality of the idea. You'll still need good designers to come up with the right look, and the 3D printer will have a prototype faster and cheaper. In itself it will not bring on more and better ideas, any more than the photocopy machine did. We will still need people starting businesses based on customer feedback.
Checkout another article on the co-working scene in Hong Kong.
In my book I talk about the accidental event where a Fedex Kinkos shared an open wall with a Starbuck's, which struck me as the ideal incubator. Everything you need as far as support services are there... and you get a meeting table with coffee for $5.00.
Regular meetings with a co-hort is a good idea, but paying for a place to do so strikes me as too much. I doubt these co-working places will continue as such. They need to strike that balance where their services are worth more than their clients money.
