A 3D -printed steel bridge set to be installed over a canal in the city of Netherlands has been unveiled by robotics start-up MX3D. "The city just started the renovations work on the canal wall The firm worked with designer Eindhoven to construct the six m-long and 6 m -wide steel pedestrian bridge, which was previewed at MX3D . It was built from layers of molten steel by 3D -axis robots, which used robotic arms to control large welding machines. MX3D initially proposed to build the bridge on-site, although this idea was abandoned for being "too dangerous" and over budget.
