3D printed bridge
The 3D printed telescopic bridge is 9 meters long, 1.5 meters wide, 1.1 meters high and weighs 850 kilograms. The bridge is composed of 36 3D printed triangular panels, each with a different design and graphics, with a rotating ripple in the middle. All panels are made of environmentally friendly composite carbonate polyester material.
The bridge has nine pairs of panels, and the components are controlled via Bluetooth. The initial state is that all panels are combined into a windmill. This shape design can save a lot of space and can be moved at will, which is very convenient! We don’t need to worry about the speed at which it stretches. By connecting to Bluetooth to operate, it can stretch and lay on the river in less than a minute. In addition, the bridge is also equipped with a gravity sensor warning system to prevent overloading.
After the introduction, are you curious about this bridge? According to reports, the bridge will be open to the public at the end of this month (July). Then we can go up and take a look and experience the fun of 3D printing in our lives.
