Joris Peels proposes a radical idea for 3D printing: mobility. Longtime Fabbaloo readers will be familiar with the concept of a “build chamber” in which extruders or other printing mechanisms move about to create an object.

If not, the extruder would have to “leave” the build chamber. That’s not mechanically possible.
Peels proposes a different approach: abandon the “build chamber” concept entirely and use a robot arm mounted on a moveable chassis.
