Zusammenfassung:	A building unit for constructing a multi-layered, finite length structure, and a method of building such a structure is disclosed. Rolls of stock material (32) are stored in cartridge stations (8) adjacent to a build table (2). Mounted on the build table and capable of traveling the length of the build table is a build shuttle (4). The stock material is moved onto the build shuttle (4) and as the shuttle travels the length of the table (2), the material is dispensed and laid onto the table. The shear assembly (62) on the build shuttle cuts the material to a specified length. In this manner, a plurality of layers are laid onto the table (2) until a structure containing a desired number of layers is achieved.
