Proto21 & Myata Set Guinness World Record for the world's largest 3D -printed structure

The additive manufacturer Proto21 3D Printing LLC based in the VAE in collaboration with the 3D printed design restaurant MyATA Platinum in Dubai has set up a Guinness World Record for the largest 3D-printed structure according to volume, which measures 13.75 m³. The structure, which was officially recognized on February 25, 2025, is located in the MyATA Platinum Restaurant in Dubai.

“This world record is not only a milestone in the growth of Proto21, but also an important step in the development of 3D printing technology,” said Pir Arkam, CEO of Proto21, and emphasizes how the project shows the ability of 3D printing to create complex, seamless structures that go beyond traditional tree methods.

Myatas 3D printed functions

Myata extends over 100 m² and includes an entrance area, a cave and a wall facades, all of which form a uniform structure. The structure measures a length of 15.73 meters, a width of 6.78 meters and has an 8.6-meter stair facade. The design comprises 23 large 3D printed elements, including VIP rooms, meters, planters and outer facades, an element contains the world record.

The design is inspired by Canyon landscapes, with each element being manually modeled in mixer to create characteristic sediment patterns. Arkam emphasized the complexity of the project and stated: “92% of the pieces are unique, which means almost no repetitions.

The soft amber -colored lighting illuminates the room from different corners and leads to a sunset effect that highlights the topography, the tables and the bar of the canyon. The primary lighting is improved by artistic effects, some emphasize the steam of a shisha and others a hypnotic halo effect. Arkam said that visitors cannot see the interior from the facade or the entrance hall in order to experience the room completely.

3D printing process and execution

The 3D printing farm from Proto21, equipped with 150 FDM machines (Fused Deposition Modeling), generated the structure using a coordinated network of printers to optimize the workflow and the use of material. The project lasted more than six months, whereby the additive manufacturing technologies of Proto21 – FDM, SLA and LFAM – were continuously operated for three months. The farm used machines from Prusa, Bambu Labs and a fleet of Königs -SLA machines alongside the Caracol Heron Lfam 3D printing robot arm.

The project included 1,190 m² 3D printing area, 38 cubic meters printed volume and more than 21,700 individual parts, which were produced in 158 3D printers. Overall, the project required over 160,000 hours 3D printing and 10.2 tons of material.

Arkam said that the suppliers had to pause other orders due to the high demand in order to meet the material requirements of the project. “Our initial estimates of time and scale were wrong.

Dubais 3D printing strategy

In April 2016, his Highness Sheikh Mohammed started the Dubai 3D printing strategy with the aim of positioning VAE as the world's leading provider in additive manufacturing by 2030. Arkam said that the project of Proto21 corresponds to this government vision and drives progress in industrial and sustainable tech solutions.

“This is a project that with 3D printing technology is not only experimentally defined, but a scalable solution for commercial applications.

Developments in Bau 3D printing

This month, the architectural studio da Bureau, based in London, also presented this as the world's largest 3D-printed restaurant interior in the Myata Platinum Lounge, a Shisha Lounge with a restaurant and a bar in Dubai's City Walk. The 3D printed house comprises three bedrooms, four bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a dining room and a study in which Xiaomis Mobile X -Aiot products such as intelligent vacuum cleaners, air purifiers and cameras are integrated.

In addition to Dubai, additive production for construction is growing worldwide. 3D concrete printing provider Cybe Construction and the South African Housing & Infrastructure Fund (Sahif) Use 3D printing to fix South Africa's proximity. The two partners endeavor to meet sustainable, affordable houses in 3D prints in order to satisfy the demand for inexpensive apartments, and the goal of the United Nations to deliver a safe and accessible living space for everyone by 2030. In South Africa, where the housing state exceeds 2.3 million affordable houses, additive production has the potential to revolutionize the construction industry.
