Four years ago, the designer Joris Laarman had a crazy idea for a bridge over a canal in Amsterdam. He proposed building the bridge using a robotic arm and 3D printer–a process that seemed as simple ...

3D printing technology has been put to all kinds of weird and wonderful uses as it moves further towards mainstream use, and the latest ambitious project being tackled by the experts is a fully ...

A 3D printer that can print "cables" of material in any orientation is set to 3D-print a steel bridge over a canal in Amsterdam. Michelle Starr Science editor Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, ...

In two years, a one-of-a-kind construction project will commence over a canal in Amsterdam. It won’t involve any humans at all, but rather, a six-axis robot that can craft molten metal in mid-air. Two ...

From low-cost housing to life-saving implants, 3D printing is having a growing influence on our lives, and the latest innovation to be announced is a full-sized 3D-printed bridge. Industry experts ...

Do you remember the MX3D metal printing robot? It’s now capable of 3D printing a metal bridge. Here’s the news release, but it’s in Dutch (translated). Over one year ago we covered the beginning of ...

What have you printed with your 3D printer? MX3D built a steel bridge (see figure). Not a model, but a real bridge for real people. To find out more on MX3D and its technology, I spoke with CEO and Co ...

Behold, the world's largest 3D-printed bridge. The Chinese creation spans 26.3 meters (a little over 86 feet) and has a width of 2.6 meters (almost 12 feet). Its design is a tribute to Chinese ...

Autodesk and MX3D have teamed up on a robot that can actually “draw” city infrastructure, on location and without human intervention. In 2017, Dutch designer Joris Laarman will wheel a robot to the ...
