Miracle inventions: the world's first bridge built by robots on 3D print will soon install

Hello everybody. We continue publications about miracle inventions.

Today we introduce to you invention in the fild of new 3D print technology.

Not so long ago in Holland planned to make the first of its kind steel pedestrian bridge, which will connect banks of one of canals in Amsterdam. And only recently the creation of this bridge, over which four welding robots MX3D-Metal worked, was completed.

The robot MX3D-Metal is a manipulator, at the end of which there is a welding device burner, which provides a constant flow of liquid metal. And so, drop by drop, robots that functioned under the control of specialized software, "welded" the entire bridge structure. At the same time, due to the high strength of the metal, no additional elements and support structures were required to make the bridge structure.

The completed bridge has a length of 12.5 meters, a width of 6.3 meters, and its weight is 4,500 kilograms. The process of printing its design lasted for six months, for which 1,100 kilometers of stainless steel welding wire passed through the tips of the robot burners.

In the future, the new bridge will be installed in the place intended for it.
