The bridge, which was fabricated from stainless steel rods by six-axis robotic arms equipped with welding gear, spans the Oudezijds Achterburgwal in Amsterdam's Red Light District. The structure used 4,500 kilograms of stainless steel, which was 3D-printed by robots in a factory over a period of six months before been craned into position over the canal. Its curving S-shaped form and balustrades with lattice-style perforations were designed using parametric modelling software. The The Alan Turing Institute and Arup fitted the structure with a network of sensors that allows the bridge to collect data and build a digital twin to keep track of its performance and health. The digital twin will monitor corrosion, load changes, environmental conditions and pedestrian use in efforts to further data-centric design. 💡 Did you know that this production technique can save material? #engineering #future #innovation #3dprinting For more: 📌 Follow #ImpressiveEngineering 📌 Click on the 🔔

𝗜𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝟯𝗗 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗮 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘀: 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗮𝗺 A remarkable feat in #SystemsEngineering! The 12-metre 3D-printed pedestrian #bridge in Amsterdam exemplifies the power of combining multiple technologies for innovative solutions. Designed by Joris Laarman Studio and executed by MX3D, this stainless steel marvel was crafted using advanced six-axis robotic arms over six months. Its unique S-shape and lattice-style balustrades were conceived through parametric modelling software, showcasing the blend of aesthetics and function. But here's the kicker: The Alan Turing Institute and Arup equipped it with a network of sensors, turning it into a living lab. This intelligent bridge not just stands but learns - using AI and ML, it continually improves its construction techniques, assesses stress, and repairs status through its digital twin and IIoT integration. This project is a beacon for future designs where technology isn't just applied but interwoven to create smarter, self-sustaining structures. It's a shining example of how #AdditiveManufacturing, #KnowledgeIntegration, #ArtificialIntelligence, and #DigitalTwins can revolutionize not just how we build, but how our structures evolve and interact with their environment. A true testament to the adage: "Design for the future, not just the present." #engineering #future #innovation #3dprinting #SmartInfrastructure

Looking to enhance #sustainability in construction? 🌱 Let's start by improving data recording. By advancing Direct Energy Deposition (DED)-arc application, we can boost efficiency, cut material usage, and enhance structural performance. Key data to record during DED-arc processes include current and voltage acquisition, melt pool observation, and temperature field recordings. thanks to our research group: Florian Jurke, Jonas Hensel, Harald Kloft, Julian Unglaub, Marc Müggenburg, Lukas Ledderose, Hendrik Jahns and Kevin Höfner check out our report: https://lnkd.in/eAjsMYiG 📊 #SustainableConstruction #Innovation #DataDriven #digitalfabrication #additivemanufacturing #robotics #3ddruck #concrete #3dprinting #3dprint #additivemanufacturinginconstruction #research #architecture #engineering #construction #digitaltechnology #tum #tubraunschweig

Exciting times lie ahead in the construction industry, evidenced by ICON's remarkable strides in 3D printing and AI-driven architecture. This pioneering approach not only redefines efficiency and sustainability but also challenges us to think about the future of homebuilding. As highlighted in the post by Keilian Knudsen, we're reminded of the importance of embracing innovation while considering the broader implications on the workforce, design inclusivity, and environmental impact. Let's discuss this transformative vision. What does this mean for the future of construction, sustainability, and community living?

One of the gaps in the research of automation and robotics in construction is the ability to precisely put 2+ objects together in a complex digital model. Balu Anil and I started with several simple overall designs, with the intent to get to robotic assembly issues as quickly as possible, and were able to iterate a manufacturing system and prototypes that could be accurately put together via the use of both computer vision & integrated joinery optimised for robotic assembly. Our final prototype is currently on exhibition at 22 Gordon Street, Bartlett School of Architecture, for any in London interested. Its self-stability during assembly is of use in a multi robotic assembly system. It is also fixed with cross structural screws, making disassembly a snap. #automation #construction #computationaldesign #robotics
