MX3D Bridge 1 Year Anniversary | From Start to Finish

We’re very happy to celebrate the first anniversary of the installation and public opening of the MX3D Bridge! We are looking back on this massive milestone with pride and joy and want to thank all our partners involved in realizing the first 3D-printed steel bridge in the world. Since its inception, the MX3D Bridge has been a ’living laboratory“. Equipped with a state-of-the-art sensor network, the #SmartBridge is powering a cutting-edge research project by academic and industry researchers from the Gemeente Amsterdam. On you can see the real-time feed from the bridge’s sophisticated sensor network. Structural measurements such as strain, rotation, load, displacement and vibration are fed to the bridge’s ‘‘digital twin’’, allowing researchers to measure the bridge’s health in real-time and to monitor how it changes over its lifespan. The 12-meter MX3D Bridge is the culmination of several years of work. MX3D kicked off this project in 2015 when it proposed
