Zusammenfassung:	A system (1) and method for manufacturing three-dimensional structures is provided. The system comprises a plurality of printing stations (3) for performing parallel printing in an confined space enclosed by a housing , wherein each printing station comprises a carrier (7), a deposition unit (9) with at least one nozzle (11) arranged for dispensing filaments of build material paste through an opening area thereof and a station controller configured to operate the deposition unit for deposition of filaments of a build material paste on the carrier in an interconnected arrangement in a plurality of stacked layers in order to form one or more three-dimensional structures, the at least one nozzle and the detachable carrier being relatively movable with respect to each other, wherein the deposition unit is coupled to a reservoir unit configured to house the build material paste, wherein the reservoir unit (13) includes at least one reservoir (15) arranged outside of the confined space.
