China’s First One-Step Modeling 3D Printed Bridge

The bridge made with polymer materials was printed on a 3D printer in one step process and installed in a Shanghai park on Friday, January 11, 2018.

It took 35 days to get the entire bridged printed out and is expected to last for 30 years.

One-step multi-material 3D printed designs have no need for adhesives, optimize material and structural specifications and allow for greater design variety.

A 3D Printed Multi-Storey House

A multi-storey residential building was produced by a Chinese company in Suzhou in 2015 through 3D printing.

The building walls were produced through 3D printing using construction waste as printing “ink”.

The interior of a building is produced by 3D printers.

3D-Printed Prical Gown

Chinese in Shanghai successfully produced 2 sets of wedding gowns with nylon powder through 3D printing techniques in 2014. But it took a week to print out the bridal headpiece alone.
