- Longest 3D Printed Bridge – Tsinghua University developed world’s longest 3D printed concrete bridge at Wisdom Bay Industrial Park, Baoshan District, Shanghai, China, measuring 26.3 meters long and 3.6 meters wide
- Ancient Bridge Clone – Patterned after Zhaozhou Bridge, China’s oldest bridge built during Sui Dynasty (581-618 CE) in Hebei province
- Components – Bridge structure comprised of 44 concrete blocks, while handrails and pavements consisted of 68 and 64 3D printed units respectively
- Less Costs – Took 450 hours to build using two robotic arm 3D printing systems at two-thirds cost of building same-size bridge using traditional methods
- Sensor Connected – Connected with sensors that monitor internal stress and strain, enabling designers to track physical condition in real-time
