1. A method for assembling an apparatus for manufacturing three-dimensional models by means of a 3D printing process comprising:

  • arranging at least i) a first pair of vertical positioning units and ii) a second pair of vertical positioning units on a common substrate, wherein each vertical positioning unit has a drive direction;

    independently adjusting each of the vertical positioning units so that the drive direction of each vertical positioning unit is in a vertical direction;

    attaching the first pair of vertical positioning units to a first side of a support frame; and

    attaching the second pair of vertical positioning units to a second side of the support frame, wherein the first and second sides are opposing sides;

    wherein the support frame is arranged around a build platform having a base surface for building the 3-D model;

    the support frame is moveable in a vertical direction by the vertical positioning units; and

    the base surface of the build platform is perpendicular to the vertical direction.
