The Solstice Bridge was designed by Cyrus Clark, an architect for the city of Amsterdam. The pedestrian bridge spans 30 meters long over the Oostenburgervaart, a canal on the east side of the city center. The search for a uniquely defining design element led to the concept of 360 subtly different handrail balustrade poles, each one slightly different from the previous one in a transitioning motion.
The handrails are 3D printed using WAAM , the large quantity of all different poles made this and ideal fit for the MX3D industrial 24/7 3D printing capability.
Beyond supplying ready to install metal components, MX3D boosts industrial productivity by taking the friction out of large scale 3D printing. Our proprietary MetalXL WAAM software is the driving force behind this, making Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing accessible and highly effective.
