Day 5 in the Netherlands started in the Red Light District as the group was visiting a 3-D printed bridge made by MX3D. MX3D is an industrial 3-D printing company that fills design orders for their consumers. After the bridge the group was taken to the MX3D office in West Amsterdam. We got a presentation on the products that MX3D provides although we did not get to see any of the office space or physical machinery that the company uses. Our site visit was regulated to the showroom at the front of the office so the most we could see of the company was a few desks. One interesting thing about the company was the fact that it used to sell single 3-D printed art pieces because the cost to manufacture was so high. This was because of a lack of technology in the industry as 3-D printing was a new development. Over time the company started to become more commercially focused as businesses would design structures and MX3D would print them. Through the visit it became clear that MX3D was not a construction business nor a designer, but had the machinery to complete orders and if possible optimize them. One of the biggest things that MX3D promoted was the 3-D printed bridge and specifically the sensors that collected data about activity on the bridge. However, the employee who was giving the presentation, Pierre, admitted that the company doesn’t look at the data. He said it was mostly to show that the company had the capability to do it. MX3D has a presence in the United States of America, although Pierre was not at liberty to speak on the work they were doing in our country. The group assumed this was because the company was under a Non-disclosure agreement whoever they were working with. It was interesting to see the company concept but I wish I would’ve been able to see their office and especially where they produce their products. We finished the day at a Dutch restaurant in a park near the MX3D building.
