Amazon Files Patent for Mobile 3D Printing Delivery Trucks

ErnieKey writes: Amazon has been inching their way into the 3D printing space over the past 10 months or so. This week, however, the US Patent office published a filing by Amazon for mobile 3D printing delivery trucks. The trucks would have 3D printers and CNC machines on board and be able to communicate with a central hub. When a product is ordered, the mobile 3D printing truck that's closest to the consumer's home or office would then get the order, print it and deliver it ASAP.
