Abstract
A device for fabricating structures of large dimensions, layer by layer. The invention relates to a device making use of positioning an extrusion head in three dimensions by means of cables in order to deposit a pasty material continuously in thin layers, e.g. a mortar comprising either a hydraulic binder or thermoplastic compounds or thermosetting compounds or curable compounds. The invention is for making industrial elements of very large dimensions, and more particularly for making buildings.
