Claim 7:
8. A method for manufacturing a tower structure of a wind turbine, the method comprising:
printing, via an additive printing device, the tower structure of the wind turbine of a cementitious material on a foundation of the tower structure;
curing the cementitious material so as to form the tower structure;
providing one or more reinforcement cables on an outer surface of the tower structure; and,
printing, via the additive printing device, at least one of a plurality of scallops or a plurality of dimples on an outer surface of the tower structure of the wind turbine so as to reduce and/or prevent vortex shedding, excitation, and/or drag of the tower structure during installation, idling, service, or operation of the wind turbine.
