Not that long ago, innovative 3D printers hit the market exciting the imaginations of hobbyists and engineers. 3D printing has come a long way in a very short time. For example, MX3D, a highly innovative company in Amsterdam can now print metals and resin in mid-air, without support structures.
As an ultimate test of this technology, MX3D is poised to print an intricate and ornate metal bridge at a special location in Amsterdam.
“The bridge will be designed by Joris Laarman. That process using new Autodesk software will be a research project in itself. It will sync with the technical development and take into account the location. The project is a collaboration between MX3D, design software company Autodesk, construction company Heijmans and many others.” ~ MX3D
This technology and others like it are about to change a great many things and open up construction and design possibilities never before possible.
Watch this short amazing video and try to imagine what the future holds!

Great little story on digitally printing a steel bridge. Look forward to seeing the finished project.
Thanks Vince 🙂
We have a few more in the queue on some other amazing 3D printing technologies.
Stay tuned!
Cheers,
