N2 - Additive manufacturing, the academic term of 3D-Printing, is the way of fabricating new objects by adding materials layer-by-layer. Our team extended this technology to the next level enabling users to add materials directly onto ready-made (3D-printed) objects. Therefore, we named our technology as ‘Additive-Additive-Manufacturing’. While ‘Additive-Additive-Manufacturing’ is one of general-purpose technologies, we believe that one of the killer-applications using this technology is to customize and modify body parts of personal pet robots. In this paper, we report our concept, software and hardware technologies of additive-additive-manufacturing, and prototypes of a growable pet robot and its potentials.
