The plan to 3D-print a bridge in mid-air was always bonkers. How could a technology best known for creating flimsy prototypes and personalized action figures be used for permanent construction ...

After four long years of planning, the world's first 3D-printed steel bridge debuted in Amsterdam last month. If it stands up to the elements, the bridge could be a blueprint for fixing our own ...

Marines at Camp Pendleton, Calif. have successfully 3D-printed a reinforced concrete bridge. The feat, which took place in December, is the first time in the U.S. or the Western hemisphere that a ...

MX3D has finally realized its ambitious plan to install what's described as the world's first 3D-printed steel bridge over a canal in Amsterdam. The Queen of the Netherlands has officially opened the ...

You might remember the world’s first 3D-printed stainless-steel bridge that was built for the Red Light District in Amsterdam. It was built in 2018, but it took until now to finally be transported to ...

Large-scale 3D printing is a growing trend, with architecture benefiting a great deal from the technology. They’ve already printed perfectly habitable houses, metal bridges, and NASA’s even talking ...

How it works is, the bridge's building blocks were created using a 3D printer, which extruded a cement-based mixture in layers to built up the blocks' structure, following an exact computer-made plan.

Affordable, versatile, incredibly strong and locally available, concrete is the world’s most used manmade material. But it also has a huge carbon footprint, accounting for around 8% of global ...

Way back in 2018, we brought you news of a 3D-printed stainless steel pedestrian bridge being planned to span a Dutch canal in Amsterdam. Now it’s finally in place and open to the public — the Queen ...

According to a team at Tsinghua University’s School of Architecture, led by professor Xu Weiguo, the world’s longest 3D-printed bridge actually has its roots in the ancient world. Their 86-foot-long, ...

Following four years of planning and research, the world's first 3D printed footbridge recently opened to the public in Europe. The almost 40-foot bridge, unveiled last month, was built by Dutch ...
