Claim 9:
10. A device for three-dimensional (3D) printing of structures in a vertical orientation, comprising:
a continuous or semicontinuous rotating build platform moveable vertically and configured to rotate around a central axis, said central axis fixed or configured for controlled movement in an area within a construction frame,
a material dispenser with a flowable build material in said material dispenser, said material dispenser being positioned to deliver the flowable build material in a controlled manner onto the rotating build platform in or on a construction area; and
one or more LEDs or semiconductor lasers chips mounted in an array on or adjacent said material dispenser, said semiconductor lasers chips positioned to deliver radiation to solidify the flowable build material located on the rotating build platform or on a 3D structure being formed in the construction area within an exposure zone of the rotating build platform or on at least partially solidified build material previously deposited on the rotating build platform while the rotating build platform is continuously or semicontinuously rotating.
