And is that huge 3D printer in the room with us now?
To be fair, you don’t need a very huge 3D printer for that, if you divide it into a lot of smaller parts which can be assembled later.
Idk, if we can already print steel though and whether we can make it structually sufficiently stable.
So our proposal is we prefab a bunch of metal pieces and assemble them on-site?
As opposed to our current method where we carve bridges out of a big block of metal?
Hahahaha absolutely. :D The difference is, that they come from a 3D printer and that’s cool.
Unfortunately it’ll take 10 years to build the printer.
And even then, the filament needed at this scale will take another several years, and a few days for shipping.
Also, it doesn’t do well in sunlight or high humidity for prolonged periods of time, so we’ll need maybe 20 to 30 years to work out a solution for that problem.
I can only assume they’re trying to talk about concrete 3D printing, but oh boy is that not ready for anything which needs strength.
How weak are we talking? All I’ve seen is the press releases from the companies that do it.

Technobros and a tenuous understanding of how the real world works, name a more iconic duo.
If the AI can design and build a bridge in two days, the AI should also be able to secure the finances in a day!
So uh… how exactly does a 3D printer use AI? Is the AI running the stepper motors? Or is this person actually suggesting that an AI could design a bridge? Because, uh, no. No it can’t. Maybe someday in the distant future, but large language models aren’t structural engineers. Those aren’t even remotely the same thing.
This only works if the bridge is financed as an NFT
