Proto21 & Myata Obtain Guinness World Record for a 3D Printing Category

Proto21 3D Printing LLC & MYATA Platinum have reportedly brought the world’s largest 3D printed structure (volume) to Dubai UAE. 

The purported largest 3D printed structure (Volume) is 13.75 m³ (485 ft³ and 996 in³) and was achieved by Proto21 3D Printing LLC and Myata Platinum Restaurant CO.LLC (both UAE) in Dubai, UAE, on February 25, 2025 (source: Guinness World Records).

The reported world's largest 3D printed structure features an integrated entrance area, a cave, and wall facades, forming a single seamless structure spanning approximately 100 square meters. The staircase facade reaches a height of 8.6 meters, while the entire structure measures 15.73 meters in length and 6.78 meters in width.

“This world record is not only a milestone in Proto21's growth but also an important milestone in the evolution of 3D printing technology.” says Pir Arkam, CEO of Proto21.

This structure is 3D printed with the 3D Printing Farm at Proto21 consisting of 150 FDM (fused deposition modeling) machines. The farm operates using a network of 3D printers, each capable of printing simultaneously, producing multiple parts at once. These machines work in a coordinated manner under a centralized management system.

The MYATA Restaurant features 23 large amorphic 3D printed structures (among the 23 one of them is the world largest), forming the restaurant's interior and exterior facades, as well as the VIP Rooms, caves, counters and planters. All of the 3D Printed structures are painted with sand texture finishes to give the surfaces a natural, rock-like appearance, blending technology with earthy, organic aesthetics. 

Design Inspiration of 3D Printed Structures at Myata

Myata’s entire layout is inspired by the topography of sand canyons, designed to be an immersive experience. 

3D Designers at Proto21 used Blender to individually apply unique 3D sedimentary designs to each plane in the architectural layout. This process was performed manually, without automation or coding, to ensure the creation of unique and nonrepetitive designs. This was an attempt to represent nature.

According to Proto21's Founder Arkam, the complexity of the project made it one of a kind,

“92% of the pieces are unique, which means almost no repeats. It’s not something you can achieve with traditional manufacturing,” he says.

3D Printing Scope at MYATA Restaurant

Proto21’s scope of work covered 3D designing, structural calculations, 3D printing, assemblies, finishing, painting and installation at site. The challenging nature of this project took more than 6 months to finish. Following are some key numbers for the project:

• 1,190 square meters of 3D printed area
• 38 cubic meters of volume 3D Printed 
• 21,700+ individual 3D printed parts
• 158 3D printers used to complete the project in due time
• 160,000+ hours of 3D printing
• 10.2 tons of 3D printed material consumed
