I am familiar with the link. I am very familiar with space-based 3D printing concepts. And I am very much in favor of robots in space.

Pioneers in the West didn't take shelters with them. They took saws, axes and auger drills. The rest was ISRU. I'm getting the feeling additive manufacturing will be one of the tools essential for offworld living.
