Dubai – Plans have been revealed on Tuesday in Dubai for the world’s first fully functional 3D-printed building, an ambitious move that will establish the UAE’s position as the global centre of technology in architecture, construction and design.
Announcing the plan, Mohammed Al Gergawi, Chairman of the UAE National Innovation Committee, said that the UAE aims to deploy the latest technologies to improve people’s lives and to develop its economy in line with the country’s National Innovation Strategy and the vision of His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
