Dubai’s first licence for 3D concrete printing in a building project is a catalyst for the technology to become the norm in the construction sector by the end of the decade, experts believe.

The technology has been used at the developer’s Al Furjan Hills project, with the 3D concrete printing process complete 20 days after the start of construction.
