The world's first 3D-printed mosque, known as the "Abdul Aziz Abdullah Sharbatly Mosque," has opened its doors to worshippers in the Saudi city of Jeddah. The new mosque, which covers an area of 5,600 square meters, was built on the initiative of Saudi businesswoman Wajnat Mohammed Abdul Wahid, in dedication to the soul of her late husband.
It took about 6 months to build using 4 construction printers manufactured by the Chinese company Guanli.
According to Saudi press reports, the Saudi woman wanted to contribute to the introduction of this modern technology to Saudi Arabia to be one of the first countries to use it, making it the first mosque in the world to be built using 3D printing technology.
This is not the first time 3D printers have been used to build structures in Saudi Arabia. The first 3D-printed concrete industrial building was constructed in the Huwayah area of Taif Governorate in Mecca in March of last year. It was 3.85 meters high and had an area of 63 square meters.
