In the shadow of an empty GM factory, the future of manufacturing takes shape
Updated 1634 GMT March 7, 2019Youngstown, Ohio On the banks of the Mahoning River in Northeast Ohio, not far from where the first steel mill in the area once operated, sits a warehouse where the future of manufacturing is slowly taking shape.
A massive 3D printer fills the space: A 12-foot by 25-foot steel plate on the floor is surrounded by 8-foot steel walls, and on top, a beam holds what looks like a giant ballpoint pen. Proprietor Michael Garvey has been test-running the machine on large hunks of black plastic, which could eventually take the shape of anything from a boat hull to an airplane wing.
And what about all the Lordstown employees being laid off? Even with manufacturers complaining loudly about how desperate they are for workers, the jobs they have to offer are often very different from the ones GM is cutting. For one thing, they'll require more education, which is available through various state and federal programs but difficult to undertake if you're already over 50 and were counting on being able to finish out your working years at the plant.
