Years ago I had an idea on mfg where one would buy raw component material (plastics, metal, semiconductor/passive raws), license build methods-the final unit would be intrinsic. You "grew" the parts like Fused Deposition Modeling. OEMs could tailor the electrical/electronics into the form factor, allow for 3D circuit placement and interconnects, layered as a monolithic product. Reduces the "tyranny of numbers" issue Jack Kilby so often mentions as his motivation.
