THE FIRST
free-space precision fused material deposition 3D printer
THE CREO 144
The Creo 144 does not open new frontiers in the field of 3D printing. That’s because the Creo 144 has no frontiers. Its unique combination of 3D printing and autonomous drone technology makes an end of volume limitations.
Replacing the conventional framework of an enclosed 3D printer with independently mobile print heads, using helium for neutral buoyancy and ducted fans to move with minimal effect on the print area – combining filament magazines, extruders, and hot ends – the Creo 144 is the first 3D printer able to print objects of arbitrary size along every axis, on any surface1.
Creo 144 Features:
- Infinite Print Size: given a suitable surface, there is no limit to the size of object that a Creo 144 can print.
- Infinite Variety: while the Creo 144 ships with four filament-deposition drones, the Creo control unit can handle up to 144 drones, including alternative modalities such as paste extruders, laser etchers and cutters, and so forth.
- Accuracy: In still conditions, the Creo drones maintain the 0.03 fil accuracy expected of modern 3D printers, and retain greater than 0.12 fil accuracy at wind speeds below 6 knots.

Note: print bed may be required for certain materials. See the Creo-B series of modular print beds which can be combined to form a single bed of any size.
It sounds like a great idea, but I do wonder if it is faster or more efficient to have a couple of bots and a single dedicated fabber that makes the parts and the bots do the assembly.
Mind you…there’s a nice RTS-style use I can think of for this kind of thing.
I am guessing this is from the late Era of Captive Lightning?
I’d hate to be the guy who has to scrape the final print off the bed
About 2/3rds of the way through it.
