MX3D to 3D print a steel bridge in Amsterdam

Steel bridge ( Amsterdam )

MX3D , a Dutch robotics firm , is working on a 3D printed steel bridge in the heart of Amsterdam . While the project remains in testing , hopes are high that actual construction on the horizontal structure will begin soon . “ We are going to see if the bridge is possible – not to show that this is the new way to construct a bridge , but to demonstrate what the possibilities are and then people can use their imagination to come up with new ideas ,” says Tim Geurtjens , CTO , MX3D .
