Of course Haveblue is mentioned. But this is exhaustively covers most of the topics surrounding digital fabrication.
http://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/138154/neil-gershenfeld/how-to-make-almost-anything?page=show
Article Summary and Bio:
In recent decades, the world has been rocked by revolutions in the digitization of computation and communication. Now the physical world is being digitized, thanks to new technologies that can turn data into things and things into data. Digital fabrication will let people build custom home furniture, living organs out of cells, and drones that can fly out of a printer; science fiction is becoming industrial fact.
NEIL GERSHENFELD is a Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the head of MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms.
His TED presentation in 2006:

I almost forgot to share this article
from last week - the 3D printing community has mused about the
possibility of manufacturers making STL files available so that
customers can print their own replacement parts, and it looks like
we now have the first instance of that happening:

Going back to the photocopier analogy...I have this terrible urge to
scan and 3D print my own butt. :D

I imagine that will be the output of the very first virus that targets
the Makerbot...
