Dubai issues licence to build 3D printed villa
01 August 2023
Dubai Municipality said it has issued the first construction licence for a private villa using 3D printing technology.
A 4-m-high structure will be printed in a single session, and the villa construction work that started recently will be part of an unprecedented global project. To be built entirely from locally sourced concrete, the villa is expected to be completed by October, said the Dubai Municipality.
The project is in line with the Dubai 3D Printing Strategy 2030, which aims to increase the percentage of 3D printed buildings implemented in the emirate to achieve a minimum rate of 25 per cent by 2030, it stated.
Engineer Mariam Al Muhairi, the Acting CEO of the Buildings Regulation and Permits Agency, said: “This project aims to encourage contractors, engineers, investors, and real estate developers to adopt and use technology in their building operations.”
“The municipality further offers support and facilities to monitor and control the usage of this innovative technology in building and construction,” she stated.
