Claim 39:
40. A device for additive material formation of three-dimensional (3D) structures in a vertical orientation, comprising:
a construction area located in a space defined by a construction frame, the construction area including a transparent substrate, and a build platform, the transparent substrate moveable vertically and configured to rotate around a vertically oriented, centrally located axis configured for controlled movement in a central area within the construction frame,
the build platform positioned horizontally within said construction frame and configured for building of a solidified 3D structure on the build platform or in the construction area,
one or more material dispensers containing one or more flowable build support materials and one or more material dispensers containing one or more flowable solidifiable build materials, the material dispensers configured for controlled dispensing of the one or more supporting build materials and one or more flowable, solidifiable build materials onto the build platform or into construction area; and
one or more solidification delivery systems mounted on or adjacent to said one or more material dispensers, said solidification delivery systems positioned to deliver a solidifying medium to the one or more flowable, solidifiable build material delivered to a solidification zone on the build platform or in the construction area in a solidification zone,
wherein the rotating substrate rotate in a continuously or semicontinuously manner to spread the one or more flowable solidifiable build materials to a desired layer thickness in the solidification zone.
