More Information
Summary:The invention describes a method of constructing a tower (2), which method comprises the steps of A: providing an elevation means (13) comprising a dynamic engaging mechanism (131, 133) realised to engage with a tower surface (S); B: arranging a 3D printing device (10) on the elevation means (13); C: actuating the dynamic engaging mechanism (131, 133) to effect a vertical elevation of the elevation means (13); D: actuating the 3D printing device (10) to deposit an essentially horizontal material layer (L) comprising at least a tower body region (20); E: repeating steps C and D to obtain a tower structure (2). The invention further describes a tower constructed using such a method; and a 3D tower printing apparatus (1).
