The building will be used as an innovation centre, located in central Dubai
The printing of the building took a whole year and cost between AED800,000 to AED1 million, which is a lower cost than that of the traditional construction methods.
Since it is the first building of its kind, a representative from the Dubai Municipality said the manpower used while 3D printing a building is 50% lower than what’s usually needed in a standard building.
