A device for manufacturing at least one three-dimensional article from a plasticisable and/or solidifiable composition, comprising - a closed three-dimensional construction chamber having x and y coordinate axes extending within a plane, and a z coordinate axis extending in a direction 90° to the plane, for building up the article, comprising an article support that is arranged therein and is freely movable, - at least one composition preparation unit comprising a discharge unit which is configured for discharging plasticised composition, wherein the composition preparation unit is arranged at least in part above the construction chamber, wherein the closed construction chamber has a three-dimensional spatial extent and, in an upper closure plane, at least one opening that is at least partly closable by at least one discharge nozzle of the discharge unit, characterised in that the article support is also freely rotatable, in that the at least one composition preparation unit is mounted to be rotatable at least about a first axis that is arranged within or parallel to the plane and is configured to separate the at least one composition preparation unit from the construction chamber as a result of rotation, in that the opening in the upper closure plane is not closed by the discharge nozzle when the at least one composition preparation unit is in a rest position in which the at least one composition preparation unit is in a relative 0-degree position, which is any desired angular position from which all other positions adopt a position at an angle thereto, and in that the opening in the upper closure plane is at least partly closed by the discharge nozzle when the at least one composition preparation unit is in a working position different from the relative 0-degree position of the rest position. - a closed three-dimensional construction chamber having x and y coordinate axes extending within a plane, and a z coordinate axis extending in a direction 90° to the plane, for building up the article, comprising an article support that is arranged therein and is freely movable, - at least one composition preparation unit comprising a discharge unit which is configured for discharging plasticised composition, wherein the composition preparation unit is arranged at least in part above the construction chamber, wherein the closed construction chamber has a three-dimensional spatial extent and, in an upper closure plane, at least one opening that is at least partly closable by at least one discharge nozzle of the discharge unit, characterised in that the article support is also freely rotatable, in that the at least one composition preparation unit is mounted to be rotatable at least about a first axis that is arranged within or parallel to the plane and is configured to separate the at least one composition preparation unit from the construction chamber as a result of rotation, in that the opening in the upper closure plane is not closed by the discharge nozzle when the at least one composition preparation unit is in a rest position in which the at least one composition preparation unit is in a relative 0-degree position, which is any desired angular position from which all other positions adopt a position at an angle thereto, and in that the opening in the upper closure plane is at least partly closed by the discharge nozzle when the at least one composition preparation unit is in a working position different from the relative 0-degree position of the rest position.
