The project, announced in January 2023, represents the latest step in Dubai’s 3D printing strategy, which aims to position the UAE and Dubai as a 3D printing hub by 2030.

What is involved in building a 3D mosque?
The robotic 3D printer, which can print two square metres every hour, will be operated by three personnel.
The printer will mix raw materials and a special mixture of concrete.
The printing process works by placing a liquid material along a predetermined route mapped by a computer, similar to an inkjet printer.
The mineral-infused fluids solidify into concrete to transform the digital model into a 3D object.

The Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department in Dubai said the cost was 30 percent higher than building the mosque in the normal way. However, the use of 3D printing will reduce building material waste.

Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ Chief Commercial Officer, affirmed that customer demand is still witnessing strong levels, and it is expected that 2023 will be a year of robust recovery, exceeding the levels recorded during 2022.

Kazim told the Emirates News Agency (WAM) on the sidelines of the Arabian Travel Market (ATM 2023) in Dubai, that Emirates is deploying a fleet of 85 A380s which increases to 95 in the summer peak season by the end of the financial year in next March.
