Smart Bridge

Case Study Description: The first 3D printed steel bridge, MX3D's Smart Bridge, is unveiled today by Máxima, Her Majesty the Queen of the Netherlands, in the city centre of Amsterdam. It is now open to the public in the oldest neighborhood of Amsterdam.  The futuristic multi-award-winning bridge, designed by Joris Laarman Lab with Arup as lead engineer, is now placed over one of the oldest canals in Amsterdam's red-light district. MX3D kicked off this project in 2015 when it proposed printing a metal bridge with its innovative large-scale, robotic 3Dprinting technology, creating a playful, inspiring example of how digital tools can create a new form language for architectural objects.
