Bridges up to 15 metres, made to measure for every site: a 3D-printed superstructure of recycled plastic on a steel substructure.
Maximum span, at a width of up to 3.5 metres.
Print time per bridge, where custom work now takes months.
Adapts to every site, without additional engineering.
A cycle and pedestrian bridge up to 15 metres long and 3.5 metres wide. The design is adaptive: we match length and width to the site, and the structure and printing process adapt automatically. Every site gets a bridge made to measure, without additional engineering.

Circular in practice, not on paper. Plastic waste gets a second life as a bridge.
Reinforced into a material that carries loads outdoors for years, in all weathers.
You choose length and width. Structure and print data follow automatically.
A robot prints the superstructure in days instead of months, in a controlled and actively steered printing process.
Steel arches provide strength and stiffness, and are fully recyclable after use.
Large-format additive manufacturing (LFAM) runs day and night, seven days a week, without an operator. That makes it extremely scalable: more bridges means more printers, not more people.
A certified product also requires a certified process. That is why we are building the MAGGAI 360: our own end-effector on an industrial 6-axis robot, which monitors the print and actively adjusts it. Every bridge gets the same perfect MAGGAI quality.
The superstructure is printed from recycled plastics. Material that has reached the end of its first life gets a second life in public space.
Composites based on thermoplastics can be reused. This is a huge improvement over thermoset polyester composites.
The bridge is made in the factory and installed ready to use. That means less disruption, fewer transport movements and far less nuisance.
We are having a full LCA and Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) drawn up. This lets you weigh the environmental performance of the M15 in your procurement.
Aiming for 50% circularity by 2030? And is a cycle or pedestrian bridge on your agenda in the coming years? Then let us install a circular M15 together. We are happy to think along from the very first idea.
