In March 2024, Abyan Building Construction Company in Kuwait successfully constructed large on-site 3D-printed water tanks using COBOD’s advanced construction 3D printer. Commissioned by Kuwait United Poultry Company, the two tanks will serve as a source of drinking water for poultry at one of their farms. This initiative marks a significant step in Kuwait’s expanding use of 3D printing in construction, particularly for large-scale, utility-focused infrastructure. The project underscores Kuwait’s growing dedication to integrating innovative construction methods and is poised to contribute significantly to the advancement of the country’s 3D and 4D technology sectors.
This achievement stands out not only as a milestone for Abyan and Kuwait United Poultry Company but also as a reflection of Kuwait’s broader strategic commitment to technological innovation across multiple industries. By applying COBOD’s state-of-the-art 3D printing systems, Abyan has showcased the potential of additive manufacturing to address practical needs, moving beyond conventional building applications to deliver essential infrastructure such as water tanks. The project illustrates how 3D printing can effectively address specific challenges—such as ensuring water availability in Kuwait’s arid environment—while demonstrating the flexibility of the technology.
Moreover, the successful implementation of this project signals Kuwait’s readiness to embrace pioneering technologies and engage with global innovators. It may serve as a catalyst for attracting foreign investment and fostering partnerships between Kuwaiti enterprises and international tech firms, accelerating the development of the local 3D and 4D printing ecosystem.
As the country continues its journey toward digital transformation, the scope of 3D printing is expected to extend into other critical infrastructure domains, including water treatment facilities, transport networks, and public services. Kuwait’s forward-looking approach to infrastructure is paving the way for a more resilient, sustainable, and tech-enabled future—strengthening its role as a regional pioneer in the adoption of advanced construction technologies.
