UAE-based construction company DuBox, a specialist in off-site construction and modular, single or multi-storey building designs, is showcasing the country’s first locally 3D printed concrete element. The 3D printed part is on display at the GMIS 2017.
DuBox realised the 3D printed concrete element in partnership with the University of Eindhoven and Witteveen+Bos, a Dutch engineering consultancy firm. 3D printing is primed to help the company achieve efficient building processes, as well as its goal
of providing “simpler-safer”
construction.
DuBox founder, Chebel Bsaibes, stated that since 2009, the company has handed over 150,000 square metres of built-up environment introducing new technologies and techniques, disrupting conventional processes of the construction industry and paving the path for the construction industry to embrace the new smart industrial age, the fourth Industrial Revolution, by rapidly prototyping, testing, and commercialising
innovative solutions.
