Re: Cocoon

If they can evolve it to print structures in the air, like a pen, it could have some interesting uses.

For example, imagine a printer with a laser on the head. After printing, it could move around the finished object in three dimensions, slightly melting the top layer for a smooth striation-free finish. That could revolutionize FDM - it might rival injection molding in finish quality.
