2. The support structure for 3D-printing according to claim 1, wherein the frame comprises a bottom support (11), in particular having substantially the same cross-section as the frame, and at least two beams (12), the beams evenly divided over the circumference of the bottom support, in particular wherein the beams are attached to the bottom support, and/or wherein the rectangular frame comprises at least one upright member (21) per side, and at least one horizontal cross member (22) connecting the upright members, and wherein the rectangular frame is adapted to be included in the 3D structure, and/or wherein the guidance (13) is adapted to provide movement in a Cartesian coordination system, in particular over at least three axis, more in particular over an x, y, and z-axis, more in particular wherein the origin of the axis is in the centre of the bottom support.
3. The support structure for 3D-printing according to any of claims 1-2, wherein the at least one guidance (13) is adapted to provide movement in a spherical coordination system, in particular over a radial distance of the 3D-printing device from a fixed origin, over a polar angle measured from a fixed zenith direction, and over an azimuthal angle of its orthogonal projection on a reference plane that passes through the origin and is orthogonal to the zenith, measured from a fixed reference direction on that plane.
4. The support structure for 3D-printing according to any of claims 1-3, wherein the frame (10) comprises at least one external fixator (15a) for compensating gravitational force of the 3D-print- ing device, and/or wherein the frame (10) comprises at least one internal fixator (15b) for compensating gravitational force of the 3D-printing device.
5. The support structure for 3D-printing according to claim 4, wherein the at least one fixator (15a) comprises a cable, the cable at one end being fixed to the frame, and at another end to mass, in particular wherein the cable is tensed over at least one post.
6. The support structure for 3D-printing according to any of claims 1-5, wherein the frame comprise solar panels, in particular curved solar panels, more in particular solar panels provided over the outside of the frame, and/or wherein the frame comprises panels for separating an interior of the dome from an exterior thereof.
7. The support structure for 3D-printing according to claim 6, comprising at least one hook for tightening the frame to a surface, in particular for tightening the ring to the surface of the earth.
8. The support structure for 3D-printing according to claim 7, wherein the frame has a diameter of 5-25 meters, and a height of 2-10 meters, and/or wherein the frame has a height that extends above a covering element of a 3D-printed house, in particular wherein the covering element is selected from a ceiling, and a roof.
9. The support structure for 3D-printing according to any of claims 1-8, wherein the 3D-printing device is configured for printing a house or part thereof.
10. The support structure for 3D-printing according to any of claims 1-9, wherein the domeshaped frame comprises a flattened top, in particular wherein the top is flattened from 30-60 degrees taken from a bottom of the frame, more in particular wherein the flattened top is provided with a fence.
11. A method of producing a house, comprising providing the support structure for 3D-printing according to any of claims 1-10 and at least one 3D-printing device, providing printing material to the at least one 3D-printing device, such as at least one of clay, cement, and concrete, and
3D-printing the house or part thereof layer by layer with said at least one 3D-printing device, by printing material while moving said at least one 3D-printing device over the at least one guidance (13) of said support structure, and therewith including said frame in the 3D-printed house or part thereof.
12. Method of producing a house according to claim 11, comprising controlling movement of the 3D-printing device over the guidance, in particular with at least one step-motor, or with an optical controlling device.
13. Method according to any of claims 11-12, comprising first printing a first storey, the first storey comprising at least one of a foundation, a wall, a floor, and a spacing for a post for a door or window, in particular a lower storey, then providing a support on top of the first storey, and providing at least one further storey, the further storey comprising at least one of a wall, a floor, a spacing for a post for a door or window.
14. Computer program comprising instructions, the instructions causing the computer to carry out the following steps: loading software instructions onto an electronic user device, such as an app on a smartphone, contacting the electronic user device with at least one 3D-printing device in the support structure for 3D-printing according to any of claims 1-10, and providing instructions to the at least one 3D-printing device for 3D-printing the house or part thereof, wherein the at least one 3D-printing device is instructed to print printing material layer by layer while moving over the at least one guidance (13) of said support structure, and therewith including said frame in the 3D-printed house or part thereof.
