3D printing: first 3D-printed steel bridge to be built over Amsterdam canal - TomoNews

AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS — Dutch startup company MX3D has announced plans to build the world’s first 3-D printed bridge across an Amsterdam canal. The company hopes the technique could become standard on future construction projects. The company has invented robotic printers that weld steel structures using 3-D technology. The process involves robotic arm printers “walking“ across the canal as it slides along the bridge’s edges, allowing the structure that has already been printed to support the weight of th
