Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has built the first 3D printed laboratory, earning it a Guinness World Record title.
3D printing in construction reduces time and cost, helps advance the economy and protect the environment by reducing conventional construction waste.
The centre at the Solar Park produces equipment capable of withstanding high temperatures and harsh climates through 3D printing.
DEWA is the first organisation in the GCC to use Markforged Metalx 3D printing based on wire/filament, which is known to be highly accurate, reduces time and cost, improves efficiency, productivity and enhances innovation.
His Excellency Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of DEWA said, “As a member of the 3D Printing Strategic Alliance, launched by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai, and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Dubai Future Foundation, to accelerate the adoption and utilisation of this technology to support the government, economic, health and scientific sectors, DEWA invests in 3D printing as an innovative solution for building prototypes and spare parts for the production, transportation, and distribution divisions.”
