Is spraying tar on road cracks in multiple passes really 3D printing?

    Road crews have done this for years since paving roads was a thing, only recently called 3D printing. I have never seen a municipality road project that lays an asphalt road in one pass, so can we call multiple passes with a tar truck and steamroller 3D printing too!

    Automated manufacturing is not exactly 3D printing :) but 3D printing IS automated manufacturing ;)

    We are playing a bit fast and loose with the term '3D printing'.
