The UAE Pavilion, designed by Santiago Calatrava, highlights the UAE’s history and aspirations through its mesmerizing architecture. It is located in the center of the World Expo 2020 exhibition site in Dubai. By an impression from the majestic falcon, the country’s national bird, the building spreads 28 moveable wings in a symphony to represent the UAE’s strength and legacy. The whole pavilion is surrounded by culturally significant trees and provides a calm and tranquil environment for visitors.

3D-printed architecture has recently lent support to architecture by offering the new creative potential of efficiently eliminating the time-consuming and labor-intensive model-making procedures, increasing the sense of discovery throughout the design process, and expanding the frequency and complexity of the iterative process digital models into the actual physical artifact. Workflows seem to be more simplified. Research, concept design, and detail studies can all happen simultaneously, resulting in improved communication both internally and outside now.

3D printing technology has gained a lot of momentum in the last decade. You might have read articles on how 3D printing has disrupted different markets, including gaming, aerospace, construction, automotive, electronics, and more! There have been speculations that it might replace traditional manufacturing in the coming years. But how far 3D printing technology will go? What are the possibilities of the evolution of this technology in the industry?
