A fully automated mobile platform for 3D printing capable of producing objects of limitless scale does not currently exist.
In the hope of remedying this situation, Gensler’s Los Angeles office initiated Mobile 3D Printing, a Gensler research project born from an observation of present-day 3D printing technology and its limitations.

Just going to be the first one to throw out an 'lol'.
Right? I cant even get my Makerbot to work half the time.
So a quadcopter dropping plastic turds?
Who makes this shit up - ExxonMobil? The fuel required per deposit would far exceed the amount of material deposited (which is also a petroleum product).
One of these things comes near my property I'm going to shoot it down.
Reminds me of CCA's recent experiments on mobile 3d printers. Soon enough I will subcontract all my work to these robot 3d printers and cut out all labor costs.
nice one Gensler! nice one! Just like Amazon with their 'drone delivery', I see you pulled a good publicity stunt here :)
Not sure why the negativity here. Gensler which I believe is the largest and highest earning Architecture firm is doing interesting stuff...and there is plenty of precedent for this.... http://www.gramaziokohler.com/web/e/projekte/209.html.... Flight Assembled architecture....and 3d prototyping pen that allows you draw in the air http://www.goodluckbuy.com/3d-printing-pen-for-3d-prototype-modeling-for-reservation-.html
