Features
- The 3D printed steel bridge was constructed using multi-axis robots in order to heat the steel to 2,732 degree F.
- It was constructed layer by layer
- The bridge has a span of 12 m and weighs around 10000 pounds of stainless steel
- The bridge is equipped with multiple sensors that enables data collection of strain and vibration of people using it under different weather conditions.
- The data help researchers to understand the behavior of the bridge over a time period.
- The sensors helps to identify the areas that will require maintenance, modifications, which can be used for the construction of large projects.
- The bridge was opened for pedestrians and cyclists.
