The world of steel structures is changing, and Amsterdam-based MX3D is at the forefront of this transition. The company developed a pioneering technology that allows complex steel objects to be printed in virtually any shape and size. With its own software and advanced robotic systems, MX3D not only makes the production of steel structures simpler and more flexible, but also more sustainable and cost-effective.
MX3D has developed an innovative metal printing technology that can 3D print steel using industrial robotic arms. This process allows objects to be manufactured without traditional moulds or castings, significantly reducing material waste. The technology is used in a variety of sectors, from construction and infrastructure to marine and industrial applications. An iconic example of their ability is the 3D printed steel bridge over the Amsterdam canal, which attracted worldwide attention as a paragon of technological innovation and sustainability.
MX3D's deployment of 3D printing technology is having a positive impact on the region and beyond:
● Significant material savings: Targeted steel printing where needed minimises material wastage.
● Reduction of CO2 emissions: the efficient production methodology ensures a lower carbon footprint compared to traditional steel production.
● Local employment and innovation: MX3D's technology encourages collaboration with local partners and knowledge institutions, which strengthens the regional economy and innovative ecosystem.
MX3D developed its technology in close cooperation with leading partners such as software developers, engineering firms and knowledge institutions. PDENH's financial support played a crucial role in scaling up the technology and realising projects such as the 3D printed bridge in Amsterdam. Thanks to this collaboration, MX3D can now offer its systems to third parties on a larger scale and is ready to increase its impact internationally.
With their innovative metal printing technology, MX3D proves that sustainability and technological progress can go hand in hand. By printing customised and on-demand steel structures, the company not only contributes to the circular economy, but also to a future-proof and efficient construction sector.
