Last year in the US, they helped Amazon prepare and ship all the products required for Cyber Monday,
去年在美國(guó)，機(jī)器人幫助亞馬遜發(fā)貨，以應(yīng)對(duì)網(wǎng)絡(luò)星期一帶來的
the annual peak of online retail.
年度線上零售消費(fèi)高峰。
Last year in the US, it was the biggest online shopping day of the year and of history.
那是去年在美國(guó)的，有史以來最大的線上購物日。
Consumers spent 3 billion dollars on electronics that day.
消費(fèi)者那天在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上共支出30億美元。
That's real economic growth.
那是實(shí)實(shí)在在的經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)。
Then there's additive manufacturing, 3D printing.
此外，還有積層制造，即3D打印技術(shù)。
3D printing has already improved plastic manufacturing and it's now making its way through metal.
3D打印已經(jīng)提升了塑料制造行業(yè)。目前它正向鋼鐵行業(yè)進(jìn)發(fā)。
Those are not small industries.
它們可不是小型行業(yè)。
Plastic and metals represent 25 percent of global manufacturing production.
塑料和鋼鐵占全球制造業(yè)生產(chǎn)的25%
Let's take a real example.
讓我們看一個(gè)具體例子。
In the aerospace industry, fuel nozzles are some of the most complex parts to manufacture, for one reason:
在航空航天產(chǎn)業(yè)，燃油噴嘴是最難生產(chǎn)的部件之一，就因?yàn)橐粋€(gè)原因：
they are made up of 20 different parts that need to be separately produced and then painstakingly assembled.
它由20種不同部件組成，并且它們需要獨(dú)立生產(chǎn)，組裝過程也極其復(fù)雜。
Aerospace companies are now using 3D printing,
航空公司現(xiàn)在正在采用3D打印技術(shù)，
which allows them to turn those 20 different parts into just one. The results?
這類技術(shù)可以讓它們從需要生產(chǎn)20種不同部件，變?yōu)橹簧a(chǎn)一種。結(jié)果呢？
40 percent more productivity, 40 percent more output produced, 40 percent more growth for this specific industry.
生產(chǎn)力提高了百分之四十，產(chǎn)量提高了百分之四十，經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)加快了百分之四十，僅僅就在這一特定的領(lǐng)域。
But actually, the most exciting part of this new manufacturing revolution goes much beyond productivity.
但事實(shí)上，這次新工業(yè)革命最激動(dòng)人心的地方遠(yuǎn)不止生產(chǎn)率的提高。
It's about producing better, smarter products. It's about scale customization.
還有生產(chǎn)質(zhì)量更優(yōu)、更為精細(xì)的產(chǎn)品，還有批量定制。
