Ask9ja: Dubai one of the big 3d house printing

Dubai is now home to the largest 3D-printed building ever constructed.

Dubai is known as a city of opulence that constantly tries to outdo other tourist destinations.

With the largest population in the United Arab Emirates, Dubai already has the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, which stands 2,717 feet tall, or 160 stories.

Now, the city has become the site of a new architectural feat: the largest 3D printed building in the world. The building will be used for administrative purposed by the municipality.

These photos show how the construction of this innovative structure came together.

Dubai became the home of the world's first 3D printed office building in 2016, according to Reuters.
