3D printing is gaining momentum in the construction industry. Both on-site and in the factory, static and mobile robots print materials for use in construction projects, such as steel and concrete structures.

A new approach to 3D printing -- led in its development by Imperial College London and Empa, the Swiss Federal Laboratories of Materials Science and Technology -- uses flying robots, known as drones, that use collective building methods inspired by natural builders like bees and wasps.
