So here is something I want to happen in the future: You create a CAD design in some open source language making use of parametrised component libraries. You then dispatch the manufacture, assembly and delivery to providers that specify their capabilities via an API, the final product is delivered to your doorstep.

This service is one step towards this, but ideally eventually almost everything would be automated away.
