U of Nevada researchers 3D print ‘Lego-like’ modular bricks for Army bridges
The project’s ultimate objective is to provide the Army with a solid technical basis on how to print and assemble structures in the field, including in combat zones where other resources might not be readily available. Modular bridges have long been a viable solution for quick fixes in the wake of natural disasters, such as hurricanes. But those components usually need to be shipped to a location. The advantage of this approach is that it would allow teams to print sections quickly onsite.
