Offshoring? What does Wikipedia have to say about that? Oh, some interesting things. Offshoring and outsourcing are not always the same thing. Wikipedia has some, well, contrived things to say on the subject of reshoring. 3D printing has been significantly successful in reshoring and bringing manufacturing closer to its point of consumption. Of course, it would not have been possible without more advanced technology to do the work for people so that they don’t have to pay or learn how to do the work themselves. Interestingly, once a business has been running offshore operations for a while, reshoring can pose a considerable challenge in the overhead of changing all the business processes that have been set up for.
