How can I create strong structures with a drone swarm?

Continuing from my previous questions about a swarm of millimetre-sized drones, I want them to be able to interlock or by some method form into strong functioning structures, like a gun or a baseball bat, then disassemble back into a swarm or another structure.

I had thought they could interlock, and once in place, turn on electromagnets for extra strength, although this may not work well for something with moving parts, and they may still smash to bits on impact.

Another option is drones bringing parts to be fitted in the air, this would mean the weapon or tool is stronger but carrying large pieces like a gun's barrel would take away from the swarm effect.

Is there a way that drones could quickly form strong bonds, almost as strong or as strong as a sheet of metal, and still be able to disassemble back into drone form?
