Method for manufacturing wind turbine tower structure with embedded reinforcement elements

A system for manufacturing a structure, the system comprising:

• a supporting frame assembly moveable in a vertical direction of the structure;
• an additive printing assembly secured to the supporting frame assembly, the additive printing assembly comprising at least one printer head configured to dispense a first cementitious material;
• and,
• a reinforcement dispensing assembly supported by the supporting frame assembly, the reinforcement dispensing assembly configured to automatically and continuously dispense a plurality of reinforcing members as the structure is printed and built up via the at least one printer head and as the supporting frame assembly moves in the vertical direction,
• wherein the supporting frame assembly comprises at least one ring-shaped platform assembly supported by a plurality of rod members, and
• wherein the at least one ring-shaped platform assembly comprises a platform supporting an outer ring support member and an inner ring support member arranged concentrically with each other with the plurality of rod members extending therebetween.
