In a historic moment for architectural innovation, Saudi Arabia has officially opened the world’s first mosque constructed using advanced 3D printing technology. Located in the suburb of Al-Jawhara in Jeddah, this remarkable structure is named after the late Abdulaziz Abdullah Sharbatly, a tribute initiated by his wife, the esteemed Saudi businesswoman Wajnat Abdulwahed.

Wajnat Abdulwahed, who leads Fursan Real Estate, spearheaded the project utilizing cutting-edge 3D printers from Guanli, a renowned Chinese manufacturer. The mosque spans an impressive area of 5,600 square meters and stands as a fusion of modern design and cultural heritage. Abdulwahed emphasized that the mosque not only showcases architectural beauty but also fosters a sense of peace and inclusivity among worshippers.

Saudi Arabia has emerged as a leader in integrating innovative technologies within the construction sector, and this groundbreaking mosque is a testament to the nation’s commitment to a sustainable and forward-thinking future. The use of 3D printing technology sets a new benchmark for future projects, further solidifying the country’s reputation as a hub for technological advancement.

The inauguration of the 3D-printed mosque aligns with the commencement of Ramadan, symbolizing a blend of tradition and modernity. This initiative reflects Saudi Vision 2030, underscoring the nation’s dedication to fostering technological innovation and diversifying its economy. As such, the mosque stands not only as a place of worship but also as a beacon of progress in the realm of architectural practices.
