In Amsterdam, today, Dutch 3D printing firmMX3Dcut the ribbon on它的3D打印钢桥的项目在该市著名的一条运河中，使用了两个经过修改的多轴机器人臂。剪切缎带的方式非常适合。

The project, begun by the Joris Laarman Studio and Petr Novikov and Saša Jokić from the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC), will see six-axis robotic arms 3D print a steel bridge to be placed across the Oudezijds Achterburgwal canal in the city’s famous Red Light District. Thanks to support and software from Autodesk, the systems are able to weld metal or print resin, in mid-air, without support structures or size constraints. The project is also being boosted by Dutch construction firm Heijmans and Autodesk, who caught the ribbon cutting ceremony on Periscope, as well as TU Delft and the municipal government. Once complete, the MX3D bridge will be the first 3D printed bridge in the world.
虽然最初的模型表明该桥梁在现场建造，但由于该位置的行人交通，MX3D在安装桥梁之前已选择在Amserdam以北的建筑工地进行3D打印。但是，在那里，游客将能够在其三到四个月的建设期间看到桥梁的进度。根据MX3D CTO TIM GEURTJENS的说法，这是第一个概念证明，可能是将来更令人印象深刻的基础“We could immediately lay a bridge over the River Ij, but let’s try it first on a slightly smaller place.”
Once this project is complete, we may get to see another bridge span the River Ij, the city’s largest body of water. More importantly, we may see the dawn of a new era of construction, reflected similarly inAmsterdam’s 3D Printed Canal House， 这中国的瓦肯馆，以及其他众多基于3D打印的建筑项目，全世界浮出水面。
