VIDEO: THE WORLD'S FIRST 3D-PRINTED FOOTBRIDGE

The Institute of Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) has designed the world’s first 3D-printed pedestrian bridge. Installed in an urban park in Alcobendas, Madrid, the bridge is made up of eight separate 3D-printed parts, the bridge spans 40ft (12m) and measures 5.7ft (1.75m) wide. 

Large-scale 3D printing has become more widespread in recent years, this bridge might not be the most elegant looking, but it certainly is a sign of things to come.
