荷兰现世界第一座3D打印大桥!载重40辆卡车
If you're one of those people who, whenever 3D printing is mentioned, thinks, "How the heck does that work?", then we suggest you look away now. Still here? Well, don't say we didn't warn you because your mind is about to be totally blown by what we're going to say next: someone has 3D printed a bridge that can take the weight of 40 trucks. That's right - not ducks...TRUCKS. Like, how is that even possible? Primarily made for cyclists, work took three months last summer and utilised some 800 layers of concrete. But don't ask us to explain the process any further to you - we at Dave Desk still can't figure out how to turn the office printer back from colour to black and white. Honestly, we're going through toner cartridges like fun, and no one can take the letters we send out seriously - or even read them properly - because all the words are in cyan. Which we thought was a pepper. It's ruddy nightmare and we doff our caps to the Dutch boffins at the Eindhoven University of Technology who managed this impressive feat of technology. Actually, if anyone out there knows their number could you pass it on to us please? We keep getting told we've got a paper jam in tray two, but we've all had a look and we swear we can't see anything. |
