Recently I had the pleasure of having Ali Mustafa on the automated construction podcast to talk about his involvement as project manager on the Biggest 3D printed building in the world which was built in Dubai. This Large 10,000 sqft building set the Guinness world record for the biggest 3d printed building back in 2017, a record which has not been beaten since.

Full Podcast Episode :    • Working With Apis Cor On The Biggest ...  

The project was completed using an apis cor printer operated by 3 people on site.

Many people are aware that Dubai has outwardly spoken about an initiative to increase the use of 3D printing in construction. Because of this expressed interest, there are now a handful of buildings in Dubai constructed using 3d printing.

Dubai has so much innovative construction pushing the limits of engineering. The well known Burj kalifa is the tallest building in the world. The speed at which the city of Dubai rose from the desert shows the speed at which they build and Ali believes that 3D printing will speed up their building process even more.

You may be wondering how such a small printer can build such a large building. The key actually lies in its manageable size. It is a small unit that does not require tedious assembly on site unlike the larger gantry style printers. This unit functions like a robotic arm extending its nozzle from a central point. Need to build bigger than its radius? No problem. Simply move the printer to the next point on the build and resume printing.

Special thanks to Mustafa Syed for allowing me to use his great drone footage in Dubai! make sure to check out his channel here    • Dubai By Drone | Original Aerial Show...
