Dubai: World’s First 3D-Printed Mosque Coming Soon

Dubai, undoubtedly, is a city of innovation and it will be building the world’s first 3D-printed mosque soon.

Dubai’s Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department (IACAD) shared plans for the 2,000-square-metre mosque on its website. The mosque’s capacity will be of holding 600 worshippers at one time.

The project will begin in October and most likely, will be completed by 2025, though the 3D printing aspect will take only four months.

 The printing will be conducted by three specialists and will be done using a mix of raw materials and a concrete mix.

Once the mosque has been printed, it will then be fitted out internally for worshippers.

The 3D-printed place of worship is part of Dubai’s 3D Printing Strategy and vision of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

“Building the first mosque in the world to be built with 3D printing technology is a distinguished project in the world built with this feature, and this work is a translation on the ground of the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed,” explained IACAD director-general Hamad Al Shaibani.

Dubai is growing pretty fast, and 2023 is all about coming up with luxurious hotels and greater construction projects.
