Abstract
A mobile 3D printing device, system and method based on the addition of material intended to be attached to a lifting device with a single lifting cable or chain, including a printing head adapted to receive material and depositing it; fixing means adapted to link the printing head to the lifting device, and stabilization means adapted to stabilize the position of the printing head by a gyroscopic effect. The printing device enables the control of the printing of a structure to be printed, in particular the position of the printing head, to reduce the labor costs and the time to install such a device on a standard crane provided with a hook.

A mobile 3D printing device based on an addition of material, the mobile 3D printing device intended to be attached to a lifting device (LD) with a single lifting cable or chain comprising a single point attachment system for attachment of the mobile 3D printing device to an end of the single lifting cable or chain at a single point, the mobile 3D printing device comprising:
- a printing head adapted to receive material and depositing the material;
- fixing means adapted to link the printing head to the lifting device at the single point presenting a position of the fixing means relative to the single lifting cable or chain,
- the mobile 3D printing device also including,
- stabilization means adapted to stabilize a position of the printing head by a gyroscopic effect, the stabilization means being adapted to act on the position of the fixing means relative to the single lifting cable or chain.
