Dubai Construction to Embrace 3D Printing

abdulrahman al ansari

Dr Abdulrahman Al Ansari discusses new reports, which suggest that Dubai’s construction sector will increasingly utilise 3D printing throughout the next decade and beyond.
3D printing is the process of ‘printing’ a three dimensional object. Specifically, a digital model serves as a blueprint, which thin layers of material are laid around to create a final product. Increasingly, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is utilising 3D printing for innovative purposes across a range of sectors For instance, at the recent Arab Health 2016 Exhibition, held in Dubai, there was a 3D printing zone.
