阿姆斯特丹以其平静的运河和蜿蜒的小巷、丰富的文化历史以及对各种乐趣的喜爱而闻名。历史地标仍然吸引着城市运河之间的游客和居民，而现代和可持续的建筑让蓬勃发展的阿姆斯特丹北区重新出现在地图上。MX3D 和 Joris Laarman 实验室的设计师和工程师将阿姆斯特丹的过去与未来联系起来，在阿姆斯特丹最古老的运河之一——城市的红灯区德瓦伦 (De Wallen) 上开发了世界上第一座3D 打印桥梁。

MX3D 和 Joris Laarman Lab 与全球工程公司 Arup 以及众多设计师和 3D 打印团队合作开发了机器人焊接桥。不锈钢桥将传统钢结构与计算设计焊接在一起，象征着阿姆斯特丹的过去与未来的联系。MX3D 的长度刚超过 12 米，为简单的技术机器人配备了专用工具，这些工具由设计师团队在两年内开发的集成软件控制。

该项目的首席结构工程师 Arup 实践了先进的参数化设计建模，以简化桥梁的初步设计过程。MX3D 描述了建造桥梁背后的发展阶段和灵感，“这种独特的方法使我们能够用金属 3D 打印坚固、复杂和优雅的结构。MX3D Bridge 项目的目标是展示我们多轴 3D 打印技术的潜在应用。”

这座桥目前向公众开放，由荷兰女王马克西玛 (Her Majesty Queen Máxima) 揭幕。阿姆斯特丹红灯区的这座新桥将现代技术的可能性与对城市建筑完整性的崇敬之间加强了联系，成为连接过去和未来的纽带。

Amsterdam is known for its calm canals and winding alleyways, its rich cultural history, and its affinity for all kinds of pleasure. Historical landmarks still charm tourists and residents alike between the city’s canals, while contemporary and sustainable architecture put the burgeoning Amsterdam-Noord borough back on the map. Linking Amsterdam’s past with its future, designers and engineers at MX3D and Joris Laarman Lab developed the world’s first 3D printed bridge over one of Amsterdam’s oldest canals in De Wallen, the city’s red-light district.

MX3D and Joris Laarman Lab collaborated with global engineering firm Arup along with a host of designers and 3D-print teams to develop the robot-welded bridge. Welding traditional steelwork with computational design, the stainless steel bridge symbolizes a linking of Amsterdam’s past with its future. Stretching just over twelve meters in length, MX3D equipped simple, technical robots with purpose-built tools that were controlled by integrated software that the team of designers developed over the span of two years.

Arup, the project’s lead structural engineer, practiced advanced parametric design modeling to streamline the bridge’s preliminary design process. Describing the developmental stages and inspiration behind building the bridge, MX3D notes, “The unique approach allows us to 3D print strong, complex and graceful structures out of metal. The goal of the MX3D Bridge project is to showcase the potential applications of our multi-axis 3D printing technology.”

Currently open to the public, the bridge was unveiled by Her Majesty Queen Máxima of the Netherlands. Ushering in a strengthened bond between the possibilities of modern technology and a reverence for the city’s architectural integrity, the new bridge in Amsterdam’s red-light district stands as a link between the past and the future.
