Qatar launches the largest 3D‑printed school with dual BODXL printers. UCC Holding and Ashghal have begun constructing two colossal schools in the desert, each covering about 20,000 m², using plane‑sized COBOD BODXL 3D printers—together totaling 40,000 m², a 40× leap over previous records. The curved, dune‑inspired walls are printed layer by layer with a specialized concrete mix optimized for Qatar’s harsh climate, with nocturnal operations to preserve material integrity and reduce energy use.

Over eight months of preparation—from 100+ full‑scale test prints to intensive COBOD training—went into perfecting the process. The progressive initiative completes all 14 schools by end‑2025, and as the largest 3D‑printed building project globally, it sets a new precedent in sustainable, large‑scale public infrastructure.
