UAE University has obtained a US patent for sustainable 3D-printed construction elements, opening new opportunities in the construction industry.
A research group from the College of Engineering at United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) has obtained a US patent (Patent No. US 12,331,518 B1) for a sustainable 3D-printed construction element, its system, and manufacturing process. This achievement is an important step aimed at improving construction quality and accelerating construction processes through advanced 3D printing technologies.
This innovation offers a two-layer composition, whose inner core is filled with materials that would otherwise be environmentally harmful. This represents a significant achievement in sustainable construction practices. The technology allows for faster and more environmentally friendly construction of buildings.
This patent fully aligns with the UAE's national goals for digital transformation and the integration of artificial intelligence in the construction industry. It reaffirms the country's commitment to innovation and sustainable development, creating greener and more efficient construction solutions for future generations.
