The first 3D-printed villa to be created in Dubai

The first 3D-printed villa to be created in Dubai

The world’s first 3D-printed office of the Museum of the Future opened in Dubai, with a first fully livable residential 3D-printed villa to come soon. Read more on how latest technologies enter the daily life of the "future city".

The first full-fledged residential 3D-printed villa will be created in Dubai in the next two months, Engineer Hussain Nasser Lootah, director-general of the Dubai Municipality, has revealed.

This fantastic latest modern technology would be used to build villas in a government housing programme launched by the Dubai Municipality, which has already provided the contractor with all necessary materials and equipment to ‘print’ the villa, said Lootah.

"3D printing is a disruptive technology, one that promises to upend the entire real estate industry. Currently, the process is still more expensive than conventional building methods; moreover it is in its embryonic stages, being able to accommodate only rudimentary designs. However, within a 10 to 15-year time frame, it appears likely that this form of 'printing' will start to replace existing methods of construction," said Sameer Lakhani, managing director of Global Capital Partners.

The project of the world’s first 3D-printed office was offered back in 2015. And now, the technology has been perfected enough to be successfully implemented in real life. The first "printed" building, the office of the Museum of the Future was officially opened on February 9, 2018 by the Ruler of Dubai Shaikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum. The museum is planned to open next year.

Although this printed office building is temporary and accommodates only 16 people so far, the strategy of the Dubai’s Government and the UAE National Committee for Innovation implies that 3D-printing technology will be used to complete about 25 per cent of all buildings constructed in Dubai by 2030.

Dubai Future Foundation, the organization behind everything from the world’s first 3D printed office to the Dubai Blockchain Strategy, spent over 5 years completing immersive exploration of the future technologies. Thus, it’s no wonder that "future city" of Dubai is now at the cutting edge of the 3D-printing technologies implementation for real estate construction needs.

Modern technologies, such as artificial intelligence, according to preliminary estimates, will add up to USD 15 trillion to the world’s GDP within a period of 12 years, and Dubai is a unique incubator for futuristic innovations and design.

“The UAE government sets an example to the governments of the world in adopting technological advancements as a driver for development,” Sheikh Mohammed said.
