Abstract
Systems described herein relate to a mobile material transport system for 3D printing construction. Embodiments of the mobile material transport system include a portable container configured to store a granular material, such as a dry mix mortar. The system also includes a feed system coupled to the portable container that may continuously expel the granular material through a material output valve at a steady feed rate that may be controlled to adjust the feed rate up or down. Additionally, the system may include a power supply that powers the feed system, as well as any additional construction equipment, such as a material mixer or 3D printer.
