The quaint, cobblestoned city of Amsterdam is about to get a modern addition: a 3D-printed footbridge. Continue reading “3D-Printed Metal Bridge in Amsterdam, Built by Robots”
The world’s first 3-D-printed office is to be built in Dubai
A six-metre-tall 3-D printer will be assembled on site to create the 185 square metre office, big enough for 16 people. Continue reading “The world’s first 3-D-printed office is to be built in Dubai”
Would you drive over a 3D-printed bridge? (VIDEO)
Picture this: Robotic arms craft an ornate steel bridge, strong enough to stand for decades, almost out of thin air. It’s not a scene from a sci-fi flick. In the first enterprise of its kind, a Dutch startup is set to build a very real pedestrian bridge over a canal in Amsterdam using its own 3D-printing robots. Continue reading “Would you drive over a 3D-printed bridge? (VIDEO)”

The FabLab in Amsterdam Is Moving On to Bioprinting
It seems to me that – as complex as it may be – we are going to be able to 3D print working organs before we 3D print a working smartphone as a single unit. That’s because, at least the organs will be 3D printed using stem cells, while to 3D print a working telephone we are going to have to develop new plastic hybrid conductive materials that do not exist yet. Continue reading “The FabLab in Amsterdam Is Moving On to Bioprinting”
A full-size 3D-printed house is under construction in Amsterdam
From life-saving implants to cars and furniture, it seems that the capabilities of 3D printing are constantly expanding. Now work on a full-scale house has begun in Amsterdam, an ambitious proof-of-concept project that is expected to take three years to complete. Continue reading “A full-size 3D-printed house is under construction in Amsterdam”
