It relied on four robots, fit with welding torches, to 3D-print the structure. To do it, the machines laid out 10,000 pounds of steel, heated to 2,732 degrees Fahrenheit, in an intricate layering process. The result? An award-winning design, pushing the boundaries of what steel can do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It looks whimsical, but it could be a blueprint for fixing our woeful infrastructure in the U.S. After four long years of planning, the world\u2019s first 3D-printed steel bridge debuted in Amsterdam last month.
