Producing the world's first 3D-printed bridge with robots "is just the beginning" - Joris Laarman

- The technology that startup MX3D is developing to 3D print a bridge in Amsterdam could be used to produce "endless" different structures, says Dutch designer Joris Laarman in this exclusive movie.
MX3D is a new research and development company co-founded by Laarman and Tim Geurtjens, which plans to use robots to produce the world's first functional 3D-printed steel bridge over an Amsterdam canal by 2017.
"The basics of the technology is pretty simple," Laarman explains in the movie, which was filmed at MX3D's workshop in Amsterdam. "We're using an industrial robot that is usually used in assembly lines in the car industry. We have combined this with a welding machine and our own software to have it 3D print in metal."
The six-axis robots that MX3D are adapting are able to rotate their arms along six different planes of movement. They build up structures by depositing small quantities of steel in layers.
Unlike traditional 3D printers, robots can produce much larger structures by moving across them as they print.
"You're not limited by size, so we can theoretically print endlessly big," Laarman says.
The steel footbridge will span eight metres. MX3D originally intended to print the bridge in situ, but had to abandon that plan over health and safety concerns. Laarman and his team will now reconstruct a section of the canal in their workshop to demonstrate that it could be done on site.
The bridge will be printed in one piece, with the robots printing a load-bearing structure to support their own weight as they work.
"The bridge is going to be fairly small - it's a pedestrian bridge," Laarman says. "It's still a huge challenge, because we want to print it in one go. We want the robots to print their own support structure as they move over the water."

Can you see that this is THE tool architects has been waiting for years?
MX3D is realizing the potential of CNC printing. Keep up the good work. I like your shipping container workshop.
I can see this being the method for construction of a new space station while in orbit.
+evilkid28 what about war the end of r earth
+Heather Sprague think out your minds box
+evilkid28 You are a genius.
Can you provide some information about the mechanical properties of the bridge compared to other conventional bridge constructing technologies?
Amazing tech! I can imagine very cool future implementation of it!
The world soon might not need workers anymore... which can lead into serious social disaster
технологии будущего!
How large scale ships will be constructed in space no doubt
mind-blowing... this invention is much more helpful ..but how much extruder temperature for metal or carbon fiber ??
The process is actually closer to Welding except their stacking "tack" welds on top of each other to build out a structure, it doesn't "extrude" like a traditional 3D Printer, current is more important than temperature
@@kodyballard49 yes it is similar to weld repair, just a lot of them in a row
music please
Where is this bridge?
Seems like a hybrid approach might be better. Have thousands of pieces of steel rod in a drum, have one robot arm take them and hold them in place and the other weld them onto the bridge. That way you don't have to weld every freaking drop of steel into place.
Watching in December 2017. What's the progress?

@@LukVanhauwaert thank you! Looks beautiful too. Nice to see the progress on the technology. Exciting times.
Hello! How much is it cost?
Not able to find a video of the actual bridge building... the info I find says it's supposed to start sep 2015... has it started or have they postponed? :(
John Franklin in the meantime the bridge has been completed
круто голанци изобрели сетку рябицу которую полуавтомт по капельке наращивает . а еще режут некачественно метал с помощтью нето плазмы нето газовой горелки
You should use a wire package 250kg or more in the robots adiction material, because the 15kg coils of wire is a problem, because the curve in the coil wire end is different to the start the curve of wire in the coil start.
TBi torch is a good solution.
Good look.
There is not a single photo or video anywhere to be found showing the "completed" MX3D bridge in the Netherlands. I this fake or what?
Still no bridge.
Is company still alive?
end of 2018... 17 long past. I cant find results

Ask big Ron Motherwell Bridge's finest
You kill welder, thank you
at the pace the bot is going in this video it is sooooo slow
+dragonspirit1185 The pace is mostly dictated by how much metal that can be applied to one spot in one go Before it gets too hot and starts dripping.
+SonsOfLorgar yeah I figured the logistics of it but due to that it's gonna take a long time. Also I wonder how they are gonna control rusting
dragonspirit1185 Only way I can see to control rusting is through material choises, and while it will take a long time, the robots won't stop until the structure is done working 24/7 as long as they have power and are supplied with metal on spools that in turn can be stored in magazines of several spools to last several days to cover the night and weekend needs.
+dragonspirit1185 Stainless steel welding wire.
3d printing is slow in general
не проще деревянный сделать за один день?
el acabado no parece muy bueno y la cantidad de gas producido por la quemadura y el proceso contructivo con el brazo robot moviendose sobre el puente no parece muy confiable
woohoo and soon you wont need humans at all. More people on the world and less jobs, perfect.
Who needs jobs if you have robots producing everything for you? We can finally go back to the Arts and Philosophy and proper Leisure and all the beautifull things that makes it worth being a human. Fucking jobs are overrated.
no they are not and presumably you would like to eat?

This is called techno religion, we will have heaven on earth. Or at least that's what a lot of people believe, we don't know what the future holds, hopefully it is something like that so I can finally learn to play the violin or travel the world.
