Dubai is becoming more of a wonder day by day. Just recently, the very first 3D printed office in the entire globe was opened in Dubai. As a result of this among many other magnificent features, Dubai has been able to come up with in term of technological development; this has clearly it a world leader in the industry of 3D printing.
The one-store building, which is approximately 250 square meters, is indeed the first advanced program considering it is just a prototype. Be that as it may, it is a fully equipped and capable building that can function as any other office. What makes it even more interesting, is the fact that a custom robotic arm, measuring 6m by 36m by 12m in length, printed the building within a few number of days; 17, to be exact. The material used in building this prototype included a particular cemented mixture, which both China and Britain tested for safety before it was used to build a process closely similar to FDM desktop printers’ standard.

The building’s round shape is specially designed for aesthetics and stability, the main intention being to look like an office that is to be in future. The most amazing or interesting thing about the building was that it took only ten electricians and seven installers to fit the entire building, which, normally, would have taken double the workforce to complete a structure similar in size.
