There are opensource 3d printers, EDM, CNC, Belt grinders, robotic arms, pick in place machines, reflow controllers, plasma cutting tables, lazer cuters, and tractors.
That covers an insane range of what could be made diy, towards mid scale manufacturing using all opensource tools
So yes to one, maybe to the latter. It still takes real labor hours to make all these things so the cost is out of reach for a lot of people. Community owned Maker spaces can be remarkable places to help give people access to tools though. My one I belong to has a couple people making a living making jewelry out of there for example.
