3D printed bridge by MX3D
After a long and challenging process of engineering, designing, constructing, and testing, This marvel is ready for the world.
The 3D printed bridge spans 12.5 meters long and 6.3 meters wide. It took 4 printing robots. 6 months of printing. 4,500 kg of stainless steel, and 1100 km of wire.
The bridge also includes a smart sensor network, to verify its structural integrity.
Before the bridge could be built, a virtual replica had to be created for stress testing
The 3D printing texture gives the bridge a more artistic feel. But the pattern differs in certain sections.
The bridge is currently on display. And will soon be installed over one of the oldest and most famous canals in the center of Amsterdam.
In the near future we'll be able to print bridges on location. Thanks to the initial work by MX3D.

its obnoxious. the music is loud as hell too
And it’s gonna get worse with neural AI
@@T.J neural network not neural ai
@@Volt64bolt you can say neural AI too
next up planes 3d printed mid air while flying

Just wait till Elon musk sees this....he will make his musketeers believe he can make it happen.
The thumbnail in the title intimates it was 3d printed over the river, not in a factory. Bit boring really, it’s just another fabricated bridge that is then moved to site just like many other bridges.
Here is the video from the thumbnail : th-cam.com/video/m8OgC-bopDg/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_title
@@swapnilmankame and even that is just an animation
Yes, but one which took REALLY LONG to make :-)
@@swapnilmankame They really should have added a reflection in the water to make it look more realistic.
To be fair, they did say at the end "In the near future we'll be able to print bridges on location."
So they weren't entirely lying, but I still agree. Obvious clickbait...
Jesus, how much energy did it take to weld that whole thing?
Besides, that thing looks like it could be printed with plastic entirely...
@@justuseodysee7348 or maybe that new 3d printed metal stuff
@@Kids_Scissors I mean... it literally was printed from metal?
1.21 gigawatts
Microfractures: I'm about to end this bridge's structural integrity.
How do you know it has microfractures? And even if it has, everything has to start in somewhere right?
@@musicislife6250 Because it is 3D printed. As someone who has a lot of experience 3D Printing, it does not create very structurally integral parts. Due to the way that layers are formed it causes a lot of imperfections, which can be very problematic and (like OP said) cause many microfractures when under stress.
@@samuelforgie2771 Layers strenght might not be as problematic with metal if it's thin enough and if it's hot enough to weld with itself.
If this bridge has problems with microfractures then every single welded component on the planet has problems with microfractures.
I think you are assigning problems with partially melted plastic printing to welded metal, that is wrong.
During arc welding the metal is completely liquid, not true of plastic 3d printing. Metal can even be welded overhead.
@@samuelforgie2771 any article about that or you are just talking based on bro - science?
I’d love to see the dollar figure on that 40’ span. Lol
00:29 _"Six months of printing.."_
How the hell people willing to put their money into this..?
This tech will be very useful for permanent stations on Mars & the Moon
Obviously because it's early tech. It would get faster as technology advances.
Remember ENIAC? Compare that with the modern desktop PC and you'll understand.
@@freegedankenzurbaukunst5613 steel production is much more difficult off planet though, how will they solve that? Bring a bunch of coal coke?
@@midgetman4206 They'll find a way . Humans always found a way
@@freegedankenzurbaukunst5613 what do you think though? I want to see your gears turning
you gotta start somewhere. sometime in the future when this is a common construction technique this will be a historical site for the world's first 3d printed bridge.
IF... and ONLY if this bridge was also baked in an oven to normalize it's structure and grain. Tempered and then brought back down to temperature that allowed it to remain springy, instead of brittle.
The Aesthetic side of the bridge is wonderful! It's a beautiful, elegant design. What a relief, there isn't much of that these days!
What are the printer's bridging settings?
yes
me to my PE friend via text: "so how do you feel about a human-rated pedestrian bridge made out of nothing but weld-bead?" PE: (many LOLs)
As it's all weld, there are no stress risers, so I'd expect it to perform more like cast metal.
PE? Physical education?
Professional engineer?
@Mitchell Couchman
This makes me feel like 3D printing is a bit over hyped. There may be some good things with 3D printing, but there's always some to take to impractical extremes. It's like Dave Rubin discovering yelp and thinking that's how buildings should be assessed and we can just discard building regulations.
@@Competitive_Antagonist A lot of building regulations come down to market protectionism under the guise of safety. I would rather choose to rely on 3rd party agencies than authoritarian edict any day.
This looks cool and all, but I have a suspision than not very cost effective. How much power does it requires to MIG weld the whole thing?
Until they can print on location, bridge printing won't be very practical.
it be kinded hard since you proply have to set up a really large tent to block the wind for flux/mig welding or have no wind that day
thought about, but they have to secure the location for a long time 24/7 for at least a few days, costs a lot of money.
wonder that the cost of the cover-gass for the out-door bridge would be.
a room in vacuum or cover/inert-gass would be ideal.
My thoughts exactly! Also, you could then use mild steel...
So that’s how the ALIENS create their cool looking structures: 3d printed.
What I read: “this bridge was 3d printed in despair
Casket getting 3D printed around the person who is dying.
That's one hell of a gap those welders are bridging 🤣
This is fantastic!!!!
Honestly, I want to see what would happen if a machine were to create the perfect building for a certain area. Would it look like any other building, or would it look like an entirely new type of structure
Awesome.
How many watt-hours did it take just for the welding / robotic actuation?
Probably way too much to be practical
0:43 That guy puts his hand on the railing and his mood drastically changes
It’s like he gets a splinter or feels the bridge dip under the weight lmao
Wow, how much filament did you use?
This is excellent! "At 1st there was one."
Where may I found that bridge ?
Just a realization of Disney's Tomorrowland TV program from the early 60's where they depicted a bridge being built by machine from one side. Only took 60 years to come true.
They got so preoccupied with wether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should!
I'll give it 5 years before microfractures start giving it problems.
You’d think this would be revolutionary because it’d take less time and cost less yet it sounds like it’s even less practical then just building a normal bridge.
Finally a video of substance I can thumbs up. Nothing to Troll here lads.. *hats off*
i was going through my sub list and saw you and thought you must not be posting but thats not it and i have clicked all on notifications, odd dont you think
WOW !!!! But should any welding construction must have been pass to Xray before use?
Where are all of the cheesy death stranding memes?
It is so much more cheaper, faster und usefull to use a modern fine grain steel (in combination with classical production methods) than the 3D-printed stainless steels, which have a lower yield strength and a bad surface. Apart from that don´t forget the technical difficulties: Residual stresses, enormous energy consumption (welding process and powder production), bad surface quality (can cause fatigue cracks), limited materials. For lightweight parts and integrated parts the method makes much sense, but building a bridge? Are you serious?
Obviously, that bridge must have cost a fortune. But it sure looks pretty doesn't it?
Everything, like printing bridges, has to start from somewhere. As the technology evolves this opens new possibilities, imaging printing a bridge over a deep and wide canyon or river, in situ, without the need to build support structures. This can become more or less automated process so great reduction in man power. You list a lot of difficulties, that is the way to not have progress, it is only the unreasonable men and women who push the technology forward.
As a side note I'm not at all sure that the energy consumption is that enormous compared to classical bridge construction, all things considered for erecting and scaffolding and manpower. Bad surface quality? Many would consider that a feature (if it is structurally sound).
I for one applaud this bridge if not for anything else than for the fact that for once modern technology was used to create something aesthetically comparable but new and different from classical architecture instead of just straight lines, circles and cylinders and planes which is what we see everywhere now days even though we have all these amazing design and manufacturing tools available.
@@jimmiller5891 That "somewhere" has been around like 20 years or so - this build nicely illustrates that by picking the wrong production technology, when scaling up job size, problems will grow exponentially. Toolless (CNC) sheet metal bending (Origami, basically) would have been an effective and efficient technology with a true wow factor.
@@f.d.6667 No, it has not been around. Printing bridges is what we are talking about here.
Sure CNC and metal bending have been around, but can they build a bridge in situ? Without human intervention? Without scaffolding?
This may have been wrong tool to build a bridge at this day and age.
But this may have been the right project to demonstrate the potential of printing metal bridges.
PS. Can you show me a comparable bridge made with CNC?
This is Cool. I wonder about recycleability and structural integrity as this is one piece.
I noticed it needed some adjusting with the 3D pen. :D
Espetacular
Would have been nice to hear the guy speaking, not just the f'in awful music!!
Great, now build me a spaceship!!
Welding ! Of course how clever!
Very Cool
How much did the electricity cost?
yes.
Ever heard of solar power battery storage.....
@@kylereese4822 honestly i highly doubt it was printed on solar energy, much less with batteries since they cost a hecc of a lot of money
@@tobbleboii5988 batteries in £ they are about 2500 for a Nissan Leaf and not much more for Renault, BMW depending on Kw size etc... solar panels you can get 2nd hand....
@@kylereese4822 ok, thats relavtively cheap. But if thats the case, why don't we run everathing on solar and batteries? If it was that simple it'd mean that capitalism has failed, and greed never fails lol
also i welding takes a huge ammount of power, you'd need alot of solar panels ergo a lot of space, a rooftop won't cut it
This is Death Stranding irl
Thanks
Thingiverse?
Why do I see 2 bridges....
We missed
of course it needs a counter balancing weight on both sides as a base while constructing. now if they could just start in the middle
This will be future
STL?
It used huge cnc mig welders?
Well it was in that late 50s early 60s disney cartoon.. well sort of.. some sort of super quick drying cement and a machine that would form the entire road way, even going off of cliffs and other such spans. All the while building more road. Thankfully it took some form in this machine.
Looks good but anything but great for the environment. Just build a wooden bridge, sure it doesn't last the hundreds of years but it is better by basically all means
Why does the fist logo have 6 fingers?
How much is one of these
there was a conference video when people are jumping on this exact bridge to test its load bearing, and suddenly hear a large metallic snap, everyone was so panick so they started jumping off the bridge into canal, turns out some guys dropped his phone and hit the metal deck while jumping lol
6 months to print (lol) - and a year of grinding....
6 months on Mars... eg print plastic disposable version on earth, and one on Mars at the same time allowing for distance/time lag so on earth the design can be modified or problem solved in advance of it being printed on Mars... :):)
why grind when you can call the rough surface a ' textured feature'
Behold, modern architecture that didn't look completely stupid
Some days ago this bridge was finally installed
Who else is watching this video now?
Most parts manufactured in this nature need to undergo heat treatment to relieve internal stresses. I'm not sure how you could achieve this with an on-site bridge. i can almost guarantee that the way they are simulating stresses doesn't account for the internal stresses caused by welding. I've seen stress-relief done with "fancy electric blankets" but It seems really sketchy to run that kind of setup outside in public.
Maybe you could print better volume on your videos next time
"You don't have enough Chiral Bandwidth to construct this bridge"
I knew it
It is in Amsterdam I just knew it because of that one picture of the houses lol
six months to print a bridge, and its still not installed. A bridge that size maybe a month to build normally?
Do you know how much electricity it took to make this?!? Waaaay too much..
As opposed to paying multiple people a salary to build it?
And too much nickel, chrome, and inert gas...
How do you know, have expert insight?
One way or another any metal used in a bridge will need to have been s/melted
Yurop, 1 TeraWatt of Power =>35000 homes
US, 1 TeraWatt of Power => 27000 homes
Consider this too, if there is "a lot of power used" it should have thick cables too, and these are not seen.
looks like something out of rivendell
innovation that costs 1000 x more than normal bridge.
Looks like the Rollercoaster of phineus and ferb is not so far-fetched after all
Bruh this 2 years old 🤯
all kinds of problems making this for human-rated use in a public setting. The material properties will be unknown. How do you know how the bridge will behave if the material's properties vary depending on the weather the day that section was printed? This is a long, LONG way from being ready for prime-time.
just make it like 10 times thicker than required xd it has to hold
th-cam.com/video/SEaht2tQ8P8/w-d-xo.html
Didn't you see? They tested it for integrity by sending a bunch of school children across it LOL
I mean I guess that's cool and all, but 6 months to make a bridge 12 meters long....the whole point of 3d printing things is to be faster than conventional methods. This missed the mark by 5 months
It's relatively new technology give it time and it will be faster and easier
Look up "Chicago Pile". Proof of concept is always the first step.
@@dq2042 Its nothing new, WAAM has been there for almost a century, and most compagnies are in business since the 90s, it's slow and has a poor porosity.
Its called a prototype my guy
@@kingdrogo6124 a prototype should still be able to match traditional times at least a little
Im Dutch lol and I live in Amsterdam and K didn’t know the exsestence of the bridge
The surface looks *censored by YT*...
Just think. A Dyson sphere structure is achievable. At this stage the biggest obstacle would be gathering enough material. Then robots could can transport and on the spot near the edge of space start the construction of the object. Such a structure could be extremely helpful. Even if we could build 10 percent of a Dyson sphere on the edge of our atmosphere we could completely end future power problems. With technology like solar panels on such a structure, huge amounts of electricity could be generated. This is such an exciting time.
How would you get the power from the sphere to the people on the surface?
Moreover, a Dyson sphere is meant to be put around a star, not a planet. Putting it around a planet doesn't capture solar energy.
I’m shocked to see nobody mention Death Stranding in the comments
Next thing are rockets 3D printed while going to Mars
It wouldn't be better to have forged solid frame at the core with all the foot path, hand railing, and aesthetics added? What is the advantage of this being made in this manner? Is welding supplies dirt cheap all the sudden?
If you ever hear a man say I’ll sell you a bridge.......
Do they level their bed?
Not for everyone
So unbelievably expensive
Next 3d printed buildings then cars then aircraft then spacecraft
It's already possible to print concrete walls
@@louiswouters71 yes but its not fast im talking about 3d printing in mass and quickly it wpuld take longer to build a damn with a 3d printer then just using the extra money to ship premade stuff
Couldn’t you at least had Nile Crocodiles to prove the structural integrity?
That's cool, but why would they make it crooked? I don't like that at all. The rest of the design is kinda cool though.
I think it looks cool and they thought so too. Could also help with winds etc
We getting closer to flying cars guys
yeah nice, lets show you everything what's related to the 3-D printer which prints bridges but not the process itself..
So it's a CNC mig welder
Ik wist niet eens dat dit in NL was
i fucking knew it was amsterdam
now build shelter on mars and Luna
I have a problem seeing the practicality of this, i think it's easier, cheaper and faster to machine or cast the parts drive it out to location with a truck and set it up there
The only way it would be practical is if its in an place where humans couldnt be. Outside of that i agree, a person or a group could design and build that bridge in a few days to a week or 2 for a fraction of the price. A 6 month build is far too long and the price would be rediculous.
Good,
do good well,
do more good.
Isn't this video like 300 years old?
So not one bit of the robots printing?
>6 months printing
that sounds useless then, waaay too expensive
It's a prototype of something they've never done before. I expect the company will get more investment now they have a proof of concept and develop the tech to be faster. Remember that the first computers were very slow and bulky compared to what we have today.
@@hglasier most new technologies that are not cheap very fast arent adopted at all
that took 6 months to build? hmm
allot of people complain about power consumption to make this bridge.... what if its all renewable green energy? then what?
Hmm.. Death stranding
solid sides but giant holes in the floor, erm...
That is being covered in 1:25
Come on...
Ya know, it’s easier if you just build a bridge like a regular human being......
This is exactly how the singularity takes over.
