Jiří Suchomel, from the TUL Faculty of Arts and Architecture, predicts that on-site printing with the Printing Mantis will allow architects even greater creativity to implement intricate shapes [...] structures, they also result in less waste. Exciting as these experimental methods are, however, the current state of the art still has a number of drawbacks. The components are fabricated in a production [...] to control the ground-breaking robot's sophisticated print head. The first 3D printers used in architecture played a supporting role in the design process: producing plastic models for displays and pre
