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.
They have created a 3D concrete bridge that absorbs CO2 like bones and uses 60% less material than a conventional bridge.
The header image above shows a completely unsupported 3D-printed bridge, believe it or not. You’re looking at the bottom of the print. [Make Wonderful Things] wondered whether unsightly unsupported ...
It’s an exciting time in the world of civil engineering and construction. The advent of 3D printing technology has now made it possible to construct bridges that can withstand earthquakes as powerful ...
Imperial College of London has spent the last four years working with Dutch company MX3D to develop a 3D-printed steel bridge that would serve as a “living laboratory.” Through a network of built-in ...
