3D Printed Steel Pedestrian Bridge Will Soon Span an Amsterdam Canal

ErnieKey writes: Amsterdam is famed as the "Venice of the North," with close to 1,300 bridges in use.

The steel pedestrian bridge, brought about by a collaboration between MX3D, Heijmans, Joris Laarman Lab, and several sponsors and supporters, will be built using 6-axis industrial robots that will begin construction on either bank and build in toward one another.
