#BRIDGE BUILDER 3D SERIES#
"The work on this 3D printed bridge will contribute to the future of safe, efficient and data-driven engineering by monitoring the structure as thousands of people and bicycles traverse the bridge hourly once in place," explained MX3D.ĭutch Design Week is taking place inin Eindhoven. Also in the city Eindhoven University of Technology is planning to 3D print a series of concrete houses that will be made available to rent. This information will also be input into a "digital twin" of the bridge – a computer model that responds to the data as it is collected in real time. Performance and safety will be assessed between the two and the information will be fed back to inform future 3D-printed metal bridge designs. "This data will also allow us to teach the bridge, to understand what is happening on it, how many people are crossing it and how quickly," said MX3D. The data will be used to show how many many people are crossing the bridge and at what speed, structural integrity and the surrounding environment. In the Bloomsbury area of London sits the British Museum home to one of the worlds greatest.
The sensors are designed to record the bridge's performance, collecting data such as strain, rotation, load, displacement and vibration. To add to its high-tech design, mathematicians from The Alan Turing Institute and engineers at Arup worked with MX3D to create a smart sensor network on the bridge. "The city just started the renovations work on the canal wall we have been waiting for two years. We just started the permit process as we have now all the positive results from the tests," said MX3D. Ok, so it does look different and its a cool theme, but feature wise it seems pretty much identical to any other bridge builder. The project, which is described as the world's first 3D-printed bridge, is expected to be installed on the Oudezijds Achterburgwal in Amsterdam's red light district once the renovation of the canal is complete, "no later than mid-2019". "Our timeline and budget also made it hard to realise this vision so we focused primarily on 3D-printing a fully functional pedestrian bridge, including a sensor network," they continued. By default, this tool can only bridge two open edges (that is. "Over the last three years, we have been able to create the technology required for this plan but we did not get permission to do it by the city government." Now part of Unity, ProBuilder is a unique hybrid of 3D modeling and level design tools. Related story "World's first" 3D-printed concrete bridge opens in the Netherlands
