Construction firm Apis Cor has completed the world’s biggest 3D-printed building in Dubai.
Apis Cor was hired by Dubai Municipality to build the two-storey, 9.5m-tall administrative building, which was 3D printed on site.
The structure was built up layer by layer and covers an area of 640 sq m. Apis Cor said it wanted to test how its 3D printing system performed under “harsh climatic conditions”.
The printer, controlled by a large robotic arm, was lifted around the site by crane and the 3D printing material used was a gypsum-based mixer.
