Abstract: A process system and method for the making of articles, using an omnidirectional magnetic movement system with a transport surface and fabrication modules having a formation surface that can be transported omnidirectionally over the transport surface under the control of a movement controller. An article forming system provides process unit operations for forming articles onto the formation surface as the fabrication modules are moved asynchronously between a plurality of processing positions on the transport surface, and features a depositing device for placing a construction material onto the formation surface and one or more processing devices to form the construction material into the article.
