Dubai’s Approach To 3D Printing

Over the past ten years, 3D printing has gained popularity in Dubai. The wall structures of a two-story administrative building in Dubai were printed in 2019 by the US company Apis Cor, which claimed to have created the largest 3D-printed structure to date.

According to Apis Cor, significant research and development were done to test the equipment in challenging climatic settings and create 3D printing. A crane was used to move the printer around the construction site.

As per a rule established by the Ruler of Dubai, by 2030, the UAE expects that 25% of Dubai’s structures will be built using 3D printing. The rule aims to improve Dubai’s sustainability while also staying current with technological trends worldwide. The Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030 also outlines how the nation’s transportation system will change over time. This comprises various projects that concentrate on expanding the road and rail networks, as well as the renovation of the Mina Rashid port to allow it to handle more than 20,000 yachts.
