Doha, Qatar: In a unique and unprecedented step bridging both technological innovation and tradition, Saudi Arabia has inaugurated the world’s first mosque built using 3D technology. 

Inaugurated just ahead of Ramadan, the 5,600 sq m Abdulaziz Abdullah Sharbatly Mosque is situated in a residential area of Jeddah and stands as a beacon of innovative design and spiritual significance.

The project completed in just over nine months utilizes cutting-edge 3D printers from Guanli, a renowned Chinese manufacturer. 

The mosque stands with an interesting design reflecting both beautiful Islamic aesthetics and modern ingenuity facilitated by 3D printing technology.
