Abstract
A system and method for manufacturing three-dimensional structures is provided. The system includes plurality of printing stations and a robotic unit configured to interact with the plurality of printing stations, each of the plurality of printing stations being arranged to be accessible by the robotic unit. Each printing station includes a station controller for controlling at least one deposition control parameter. The system further includes a system controller configured to operate the robotic unit, and wherein the system controller is communicatively coupled to the plurality of printing stations for controlling at least an execution of printing tasks being performed on the plurality of printing stations. The station controllers are at least partially controllable by means of the system controller, wherein the system controller is configured to adjust at least one deposition control parameter of each printing station independent of deposition control parameters of other printing stations of the plurality of printing stations.
