Build a bridge with steel 3D printing
The technology in architecture It is taking giant steps with a clear objective that it prides itself on, the reduction of construction costs. One of the most appreciated ways to achieve the objective is the use of robots.
The "3D printing" of different architectural elements that, although it sounds like a utopia, clarifies an overwhelming trend in the use of industrial machinery and robots to replace the traditional construction worker.
In this sense, we already talked about the almost perfect achievement in the article architecture and robots … How to build a sturdy wooden structure with as little material as possible?
The 3d print started with small plastic structures, and over time has moved on to bigger, more complex, and more solid things, from the parts of an airplane engine to modern homes that are built in a few days to a building built with a mega 3d printers printing concrete everywhere…. Will the next step be infrastructures?
Although 3D printing of metal objects is not new, a technology-based company called MX3D from the Heijmans team of designers intends to do just that but with greater perspectives. Build infrastructures with the help of robots that print 3D in steel.
Objective, to print a steel bridge over a canal in Amsterdam, basically creating the bridge out of nowhere, in which the robots will print their own support structure advancing according to the guidelines established for the design of the steel structure that will form the bridge.
We believe that to understand the 3D printing on steel of the bridge in debate. Better to see the next video that will surprise even the most imaginative engineer.
These projects allow us to take a look at what the future of bridge construction will look like, as well as push other industries towards modernization.
It gives us the feeling that in the not too distant future there will be fewer traditional operators and more IT or electronics experts on the construction site.
If we already see that prefabricated and modular houses are on the rise due to their low cost mainly due to industrialization, with the intervention of industrial robots in the works … Can we build cheaper?
