Dar Al Arkan, the Saudi Arabian real estate developer, used a COBOD 3D construction printer to create the 3-story, 9.9-meter-tall, the world’s tallest 3D-printed building, which comprises 345 sqm in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Low-cost local materials were utilized to manufacture the 3D printable concrete that was used to print all of the walls of the 345 sqm structure.

It was 3D printed in just 26 days and is entirely compatible with building rules, demonstrating how technology and creativity can coexist with safety and regulation. 

The villa contains smart apps that manage numerous home operations such as doors, locks, AC, and lighting, as well as 9 solar panels on the roof that generate enough electricity to operate many of the villa’s systems such as lighting and heating. Also, heat-reflecting nano-technology was used for painting the exterior walls, which makes the villa up to 40% more heat-resistant than traditional buildings. Furthermore, the outside of the house is four times stronger than a standard-built one.
