We all now that Amazon has been inching their way into the 3D printing space over the last 10 months or so. What many of us didn't know is that they are looking towards the technology in quite an innovative way. This week 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 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 to print and deliver it ASAP. More details on Amazon's interesting patent filing can be found here: http://3dprint.com/46934/amazon-3d-printing-patent/

Below is a diagram from the patent filing. What do you guys think? Could this be something that could work out?
