>> Following four years of planning and research, the world's first 3D printed footbridge recently opened to the public in Europe.

The almost 40-foot bridge, unveiled last month, was built by Dutch company MX3D and will serve as a "living laboratory" in Amsterdam's city center.

Researchers and engineers at Imperial College London were able to 3D-print the bridge - which now serves pedestrians and cyclists crossing Amsterdam's Oudezijds Achterburgwal canal.

From Guns To Chocolate: The Possibilities Of 3-D Printing
"A 3D-printed metal structure large and strong enough to handle pedestrian traffic has never been constructed before," said Imperial College London professor Leroy Gardner in a news release.<<

This is a milestone. It's exciting to think of all the possibilities and applications.
