3D PRINTING EVALUATION OF OFFICES IN UAEU CAMPUS

Due to UAEU's future prospect which is always seeking for more creative and modern technologies, in this research we will discuss the potential of having 3D printed offices in UAEU campus. This research paper examines the option of 3D printing technology for improving the evaluation of offices in the UAEU campus. 3D printing is a new revolution in construction and sustainable design and according to the UAE government's vision and interest in this technology that stems from the advantages that this technology will offer, this technology has several benefits such as less material waste, higher construction speed, less expenses. 3D printing technology might lead the sustainable urbanism to successful developments by creating sustainable cities and neighborhoods. This technology meets most of the future design requirements such as being affordable, Eco-friendly, flexible, stylish and healthy. 3D printing got the attention of many developed countries such as Singapore, China and UAE. The office of the future in Dubai is one of the great examples of 3D printed offices which gives a good impact on the future of this technology. This paper will study the location and climate effect on the construction using 3D printing method, also will have a method comparison between conventional construction and 3D printing and will evaluate the results and outcomes of the modeling and energy simulation and studying the cost and time analysis of this technology. The results of the present investigation demonstrate the positive effects of this technology on the construction sector and offices evolution.
