For constructing the World's Largest 3D Printed Building, Dubai Municipality won the UAE Ideas Award, organised by the Dubai Quality Group under the slogan "Nothing is Impossible," in the category of "Innovation in the field of inventions." The Dubai 3D Printing Strategy was introduced by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai, as a unique global initiative.

The initiative aims to use 3D printing technology to create 25% of Dubai's buildings by 2030, and the plan aims to use this promising technology to serve people and improve the UAE and Dubai's role as a leading centre for 3D printing in the region and the world.

The initiative strengthens the role of 3D printing technologies in reducing construction costs by 50-70 percent and labour costs by 50-80 percent, as well as reducing construction waste by up to 60 percent. It has a positive impact on the sector's economic performance and aids in the attainment of environmental and resource sustainability.

The award is intended to encourage people to embrace the concepts of creativity and long-term sustainability. The Dubai Municipality used 3D printing technology to complete a two-story integrated construction project with a height of 9.5 metres and a total area of 640 square metres. It is the world's largest and first 3D printed two-story building, built using local materials and 3D printing on-site directly under external working conditions.

The Dubai municipality has won an Innovation Award for the world's largest 3D printed structure. The municipality had set up all of the necessary infrastructure to deal with modern construction technologies in order to achieve Dubai's 3D printing strategy, which aims to make Dubai a global hub for 3D printing technology.

The two-story structure is equipped with a variety of spaces that can be used as rooms or offices of various sizes. Unlike the conventional method of building, which relies on the work of tightening wooden parts with nuts and bolts, reinforcement, concrete pouring, and brick making, the walls are printed directly from the printer.

The building was built with various curves and shapes to see whether 3D printing could be used to create a variety of designs.

Dubai Municipality conducted numerous tests and experiments on the materials used in printing to ensure that they match the printer's smoothness and pumping, as well as that they meet the efficiency, durability, and strength specifications needed to withstand the construction.

The Municipality has ensured that the materials used in the mixture are indigenous to the country. The structure was built in accordance with sustainability requirements and green building standards. It includes efficient insulation systems through innovative geometrical wall printing and increases the possibility of utilising voids inside the wall, which primarily helps the thermal insulation of the building and reduces energy consumption, as well as developing solutions to connect services within the printed walls, which includes all services to the building such as electricity, water, communication, IT technologies and air conditioning.

This project is a significant turning point in the construction sector at the local and regional levels, and it is based on a strategy of innovation in 3D printing technology in construction, which will increase the pace and speed of execution and completion of buildings in record time, reduce construction costs, and contribute to the creation of solutions to the demographics challenges by increasing the pace and speed of execution and completion of buildings in record time, and contribute to the development of solutions to the demographics challenges  by downsizing the number of construction labour.

It will also help the Emirate's sustainability programmes, such as using local materials and eliminating building waste, by printing directly from engineering plans without the need for human interference.
