It took six years, countless redesigns, 4,500 kilograms of stainless steel, and several six-axis robotic arms to complete the 3D-printed canal bridge in the Red Light District of Amsterdam.
Opened in July 2021 by Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, the project came to life through intense collaborative efforts between the municipality of Amsterdam, robotics company MX3D, and Joris Laarman Lab among many others.
