Another Robotic 3D printer use:

According to another embodiment, the fabrication machine 100 may be used by individuals to create new products that overcome limitations of existing products. The fabrication machine 100 may be used by the military in the field. In one example, a soldier in the field may use the fabrication machine 100 to modify a surveillance robot. For example, if the surveillance robot is unable to climb over obstacles in the field, the soldier may use the fabrication machine 100 to create and fabricate a new design. In another example, an offsite military personnel may redesign the surveillance robot and transmit the new design to the soldier in the field. The soldier could use the fabrication machine 100 to easily fabricate a new surveillance machine with minimal product fabrication knowledge. In general, the fabrication machine 100 improves manufacturing capabilities and innovation by increasing access to 3D printing while also reducing costs and required production skills.
