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(shù)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(yè)打印機(jī)建造，僅耗時(shí)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(qū)所打造的世界首個(gè)3D打印辦公室顯示出，在追求更低成本和更快的建筑交付速度的當(dāng)今時(shí)代，3D打印技術(shù)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(jù)政府聲明，這間形似一臺電視機(jī)的辦公室名為“未來辦公室”，是使用特制的水泥混合物建造的，或者應(yīng)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(fèi)了兩周時(shí)間，只有一層，占地250平方米，非常適合成為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.
但迪拜新潮的建筑方式的最大亮點(diǎn)是，打印這間辦公室的巨型3D打印機(jī)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(jìn)的電腦輔助設(shè)計(jì)程序，材料被送往中英兩國進(jìn)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.
這座建筑物是迪拜3D打印戰(zhàn)略的一部分，將見證迪拜開展進(jìn)一步的基于醫(yī)藥和建筑業(yè)的新新時(shí)代項(xiàng)目計(jì)劃。
