Dubai has hit headlines yet again, this time in the 3D-printed construction sector by securing the Guinness World Record for the world’s largest 3D-printed villa recently completed in the emirate.
UAE-based 3DXB Group, a leading innovator in 3D printing solutions for the construction industry, said it created the record by printing a 4-m-high residential villa in one seamless session, located in the Al Awir 1 area. The project was carried out in collaboration with Dubai Municipality and Mohammed Bin Rashid Housing Establishment, 3DXB said.
With an overall built-up area of 300 sq m, the villa is set to become a symbol of technological prowess and sustainable construction practices, said 3DXB Group. The entire structure of the villa is crafted from locally sourced concrete, embodying a commitment to sustainable practices, it stated.

The Emirati group pointed out that it was committed to supporting the country’s ambitious goal of constructing 25 per cent of buildings using 3D printing technology by 2030, it added.
On the key milestone, Chairman Badar Rashid AlBlooshi said: “At 3DXB, we are driven by a passion for sustainability and a desire to transform the construction industry through eco-friendly 3D printing solutions. This Guinness World Record is not just about the sheer height of the structure but also about the innovative approach of printing a 4-m-high building in one session.”
“It is a matter of pride for us to be at the forefront of technological advancements in construction, contributing to the realisation of Dubai’s 3D Printing Strategy 2030,” he added.
Among other milestones in the emirate, leading UAE developer Emaar stakes claim to having built Dubai’s first-ever 3D-printed house way back in 2019, using technology from Cobod International. The building located in the Arabian Ranches III area features three bedrooms, four bathrooms, a fully-equipped kitchen with a dining room, and a study room, and showcases how 3D printing can be integrated with smart technologies.
