Project
Completed

Engineers at MIT have 3D-printed a concrete bridge measuring 2.3 meters in length and weighing approximately 410 kilograms. The bridge supports over 900 kilograms and was produced in about 30 minutes using a standard mortar mix. The project uses a mathematical optimization approach to create designs suitable for 3D printing with thick nozzles, reducing material use by 76%.
