In the village of Malbagush in the Aznakayevo District, the multifunctional cultural center "Mella," built using 3D printing, was pompously unveiled. Tatarstan Head Rustam Minnikhanov call his "unique object."

It houses creative and leisure spaces, a library, a village administration office, and a first aid station. There's even a coworking space, Minnikhanov noted with delight, considering the village's population is about 700.

The Tatneft company paid for the center. How Wrote "NotMoscow," the construction cost 600 million rubles, and residents wondered whether it would have been cheaper to build a regular building or whether "it's easier to cut things up this way."

The head of the Aznakayevo district, Marcel Shaidullin, considers the project "a real revolution in the construction industry."

"This is the first project in Russia to undergo an assessment using construction 3D printing. <…> Smooth, curved forms created using industrial 3D printers reign supreme. Miscanthus and industrial hemp fibers were added to the printing mixture, making the project not only durable but also environmentally friendly!" сообщили in the district administration.  

Officials have called the center "the tallest building in Europe," created using 3D printing, standing almost 10 meters tall. Meanwhile, in Switzerland, the 30-meter-tall Baroque Tor Alva tower, which opens to tourists on Friday, is the tallest such structure in the world.
