Until recently, it was too expensive to be used by anything other than corporations or other locations with large funding. Now you can buy quality printers for a few hundred dollars, and they are continually improving in both quality and price.

Such parallel processing and/or planning are not yet mastered by robots. The field of mathematics which deals with this situation is Mathematical Optimization a.k.a. Linear Programming.
