To ensure that soundness continues, the bridge is infused with a myriad of sensors detecting stress, movement, vibration and temperature. Data collected from all those sensors is relayed to a digital twin of the bridge -- a virtual bridge simulated on a computer -- which will help scientists monitor the structure. Once the territory of tech-savvy hobbyists, 3D-printing has found a wide variety of industrial applications in recent years. In 2020, a California company developed a process for 3D-printing 350-square-foot homes in less than 24 hours. And throughout the pandemic, 3D printing was investigated as a way to fill the gaps left from shortages of medical supplies.
