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

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 #letsconnect #3dprinting #bridge #Amsterdam #infrastructureprojects #sensors #technology #techforgood #advancedtechnology #constructionindustry #ImpressiveEngineering

Innovation at Its Finest: The World’s First 3D-Printed Steel Bridge in Amsterdam The world's first 3D-printed steel bridge was opened in Amsterdam back in 2021. This 12-meter-long bridge, named the MX3D Bridge, was constructed using four industrial robots that printed 4500 kilograms of stainless steel. It now spans the Oudezijds Achterburgwal canal and is open to pedestrians and cyclists. The bridge is equipped with over a dozen sensors to continuously monitor strain, movement, vibration, and temperature, feeding data into a digital model, that helps engineers study its properties and the potential of 3D-printed steel in larger scale projects. This live data allows engineers to use machine learning to predict maintenance needs and analyze the structural integrity of 3D-printed steel. #engineeringinnovation #3dprinting #infrastructure #bridge #amsterdam #engineering

https://lnkd.in/gm6bErRe Article Title: Modelling, Design and Validation of a Parallel Kinematic Robot for Additive Manufacture Applications Author(s): Marcel Lahoud*, Leonardo Melendez and Arturo Gil Journal: Annals of Robotics and Automation Journal ISSN: 2994-418X Abstract: The additive manufacture is a fabrication process that has taken huge steps in the last decade, even though the first researches and prototypes are around since almost forty years ago. In this article, a design method for a Parallel Kinematics Robot for Additive Manufacturing Applications is proposed. A numerical model is obtained from the kinematics of the robot for which the design, construction and assembly are planned using recycled materials and equipment. The control of the robot is done using open source software, allowing the planning of trajectories in the Cartesian space on a maximum designed cylindrical workspace of 300mm in diameter by 300mm high. At the end of the work the robot was identified, the kinematic model was validated and considerations for future works were given. #Parallelkinematicrobot #Additivemanufacture #Modelling #Design #Engineering #MechanicalEngineering #ElectricalEngineering #CivilEngineering #ChemicalEngineering #ComputerEngineering #SoftwareEngineering #AerospaceEngineering #BiomedicalEngineering #EnvironmentalEngineering #StructuralEngineering #IndustrialEngineering #MaterialsEngineering #SystemsEngineering #Robotics #Peertechz #PeertechzPublications #Nanotechnology #RenewableEnergy #EngineeringDesign #EngineeringManagement #ManufacturingEngineering #AutomotiveEngineering #TelecommunicationsEngineering #Mechatronics #EngineeringMechanics #ControlSystems

livMatS Biomimetic Shell - Integrative computational design and robotic prefabrication The heart of the prefabrication of the livMatS Biomimetic Shell is a newly developed, transportable 7-axis robot platform that allowed seamless integration in the factory of the industrial partner muellerblaustein HolzBauWerke within a few hours. The 12-meter-long robot platform enabled the simultaneous production of four components with lengths of up to 3.5 meters. The hollow cassettes were joined by the robot from individual wooden parts, glued, milled, drilled and finally cut by means of a saw blade with an accuracy in the sub-millimeter range. In this way, the robotic production time could be reduced by 75% compared to the BUGA Wood Pavilion. In the digital fabrication of the hollow cassettes, manual partial assembly steps of components such as lights and acoustic elements were directly integrated by means of augmented reality (AR). This form of human-machine interaction in the fabrication process enables effective, digitally augmented, and handcrafted fabrication with a high degree of precision. © Video Credits: ICD/ITKE/IntCDC University of Stuttgart #robot #robotics #engineering #technology #stuttgart
