**Headline:** IIT Hyderabad Unveils Cutting-Edge 3D Printed Pedestrian Bridge

**Intro:** In a leap forward for engineering innovation, IIT Hyderabad has installed a groundbreaking 3D printed pedestrian bridge on its campus.

IIT Hyderabad has achieved a remarkable engineering feat with the installation of a pioneering 3D printed pedestrian bridge on its campus. This innovative structure, spanning 15 metres in length and 1.5 metres in width, is the first of its kind in India. Designed by researchers and students at the institute, the bridge showcases the potential of additive manufacturing in construction.

The bridge, composed of reinforced concrete, was created layer by layer using a large-scale 3D printer. This method not only reduced construction time significantly but also minimised material waste compared to traditional methods. It marks a shift towards sustainable and efficient construction practices in the country.

Prof. BS Murty, Director of IIT Hyderabad, highlighted the bridge's significance in advancing structural engineering capabilities and fostering research in additive manufacturing. He emphasised its potential for future applications in infrastructure development across urban and rural areas.

The project exemplifies IIT Hyderabad's commitment to innovation and sustainability in engineering. It sets a precedent for integrating advanced technologies like 3D printing into civil infrastructure projects, promising more cost-effective, durable, and environmentally friendly solutions in the future.
