Dubai announced it will partner with a Chinese company that uses 3D printing technology to build its first office building in the world, to cut costs and save time.

Dubai built the world's first 3D printing office

The building in Dubai consists of several blocks, each with a floor space of about 185 m2, built in layers by a 3D printer higher than 6 meters, Reuters quoted the Interior Minister of the United Arab Emirates yesterday ( UAE) Mohamed Al Gergawi.

After that, the blocks will be assembled together, finishing time in just a few weeks. The interior and interior space are also built using 3D printers, using reinforced concrete and plaster reinforced with fiberglass and plastic.

This Dubai project cooperates with Winsun, a pioneering Chinese company in the field of 3D home construction, and a US engineering-architecture firm.

Gergawi estimates that the use of 3D printing technology will cut 50-70% of construction time, as well as 50-80% of workers. He did not disclose the project value. According to the SCMP, the building could be used as an office for staff working in the "Future Museum" - a $ 136 million completed facility earlier this year in Dubai, scheduled to open in 2017.
