Zusammenfassung:An embodiment provides a method for printing a three-dimensional structure, including: identifying, using one or more sensors, a geographical three-dimensional location of a print head, wherein the print head is operatively coupled to a platform providing movement over a geographical terrain; correlating the identified geographical location to a location identified within a print file, wherein the print file comprises dimensions and printed structure locations of a three-dimensional structure to be constructed; and constructing the three-dimensional structure until the three-dimensional structure is constructed by iteratively: moving, based upon the correlation, the print head to printed structure locations identified from the print file; when the print head is located at a printed structure location, extruding a structure material from a structure material holding location operatively coupled to the platform; and determining, based upon the print file, whether the three-dimensional structure is constructed.
