Is there any object that cant be 3D printed?
Weve seen 3D printedhouses, cars,bikes,shoes, evenfood!
Now a company in Amsterdam is using 3D printers to build city infrastructure.
TheMX3D Bridgeproject uses 3D printing technology to craft steel structures that can support thousands of pounds of weight.
Soon, MX3D will build a bridge in Amsterdam using their 3D printing tech.
Its a crazy concept, but one that has been tested thoroughly by the crew at MX3D.
If youre familiar with the robotic arms on automated factory floors, these use the same basic technology.
The difference, however, is that these robots can move about on structures of their own creation.
Imagine a pair of robotic arms building a bridge and navigating that bridge throughout the process.
Thats precisely what MX3Ds Bridge system will do.
So far, MX3D has worked on smaller scale projects.
The system started with a single robotic welder that would produce small strings of steel.
Ultimately, theyve created a scalable system that can build industrial-strength civic projects.
Like a bridge, for example.
MX3Ds bridge is the first of many infrastructure projects that could benefit from 3D printing technology.
Its the best of 3D printing and robotics, and it could be coming to a city near you.
