World’s first 3D-printed steel footbridge unveiled in Amsterdam
Now, the world’s first 3D-printed steel structure, a ‘living laboratory’ bridge, has been unveiled by a robot in Amsterdam. This pedestrian bridge with smart sensors will replace the old bridge under external restoration for the next two years.
The 3D-printed footbridge, which is over four years in the making, is the result of a unique collaboration between MX3D, software company Autodesk, chief engineer Arup, steel giant ArcelorMittal, the City of Amsterdam, and the University of Twente, among others.
MX3D made this design possible by turning welding robots with intelligent software into industrial 3D printers. The entire bridge is made of stainless steel and weighs 6,000 kg. The footbridge will be extensively tested by Imperial College London, with the help of the University of Twente, before being installed.
Elroy Air unveils autonomous, heavy payload VTOL cargo drone
Elroy Air unveils its heavy payload, long-flying autonomous VTOL cargo drone, with 500 orders worth $1 billion already on the books.
Given that autonomous functioning, heavier capacity, longer flight time than most cargo drones, and VTOL operation, Elroy says the Chaparral will transform how express freight is managed in developed markets, and open the activity to many others currently shut out.
“The Chaparral is an important part of the future of express logistics,” said Elroy Air CEO David Merrill. “It is built for full end-to-end automation, and it will safely and efficiently make express shipping possible in thousands of new places. It’s a delivery drone that’s faster than ground transport and lower cost than today’s traditional aircraft.”
The company says it has secured purchase agreements for more than 500 of its VTOL cargo drones from commercial, defense, and humanitarian customers, amounting to more than $1 billion in value. Those clients include Mesa Airlines, a regional US carrier operating large fleets on behalf of partners that include American and United Airlines. Freight giant DHL has also expressed its intent to order 150 Chaparral aircraft to facilitate express parcel and healthcare activity.
