世界首座3D打印辦公室亮相迪拜大綱
The City of Gold has turned to printing for its latest showpiece building, using a giant industrial 3D printer to construct a futuristic office space in just 17 days.
迪拜近日使用3D打印技術建造的辦公室日前亮相，這座頗具未來感的辦公室使用了一臺巨型3D工業打印機建造，僅耗時17天。
Government officials suggest the “world first” development in the Persian Gulf shows how 3D printing technology can usher in an era of lower cost and faster delivery construction.
迪拜政府表示，該地區所打造的世界首個3D打印辦公室顯示出，在追求更低成本和更快的建築交付速度的當今時代，3D打印技術很有前景。
Dubbed the ‘Office of the Future,’ the TV-shaped space was built – or should we say, printed – using a special mixture of cement, according to a government statement.
根據政府聲明，這間形似一臺電視機的辦公室名爲“未來辦公室”，是使用特製的水泥混合物建造的，或者應該說是打印的。
Erected in just over two weeks, the single-story, 250 square meter workplace will, rather fittingly, host the Dubai Future Foundation.
這座辦公室的建造僅花費了兩週時間，只有一層，佔地250平方米，非常適合成爲迪拜未來基金會的辦公地。
But the most amazing element of city’s newfangled approach to architecture is that the large office was made using a massive printer measuring 20 feet high, 120 feet long and 40 feet wide.
但迪拜新潮的建築方式的最大亮點是，打印這間辦公室的巨型3D打印機有20英尺高，120英尺長，40英尺寬。
Advanced computer-aided design programs were used in the construction, while materials were sent to both China and UK for safety testing.
建造中使用了先進的電腦輔助設計程序，材料被送往中英兩國進行安全檢測。
The creation was part of Dubai’s 3D Printing Strategy, which will see the city roll out further new-age projects based in medicine and construction.
這座建築物是迪拜3D打印戰略的一部分，將見證迪拜開展進一步的基於醫藥和建築業的新新時代項目計劃。
