Dear MEL Topic Readers,
World’s first 3D-printed mosque to be built in Dubai
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a process in which a digital file is used to create a three-dimensional solid object. In the 3D printing process, sequential layers of material are laid down by the ‘3D printer’ until object creation is completed. It has been used not only to make objects, tools, and parts but also finished products. Also, 3D printing is expected to revolutionize the construction industry as it offers faster, more cost-effective, and more sustainable construction methods as digital design and construction could save time, reduce construction costs and human-caused errors, and innovate new and sustainable designs. And Dubai is aiming to be the world’s capital of the 3D-printing. It plans to build 25% of new construction in the emirate by 3D printed structure. In fact, in 2019, it already built the world’s first 3D-printed office, the municipality building. Now, the emirate has announced that it will build the world’s first 3D-printed mosque. The two-story, 2,000-sqm concrete mosque will accommodate as many as 600 worshippers. It must be built in accordance with halal principles.
Enjoy reading the article and learning about the new application of 3D printing.
