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.
