The Sushen Outer Harbor Line connecting the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the Huangpu River is a national high-grade waterway, and the waterway is currently being upgraded. The construction of a secondary bank revetment located in the Wujiang Tuncun section is not poured with traditional reinforced concrete, but is 3D printed with "solid waste" and assembled into a beautiful "ecological bank". This is the first 3D printed inland waterway secondary revetment in China.

Yesterday, the film crew of Channel 4 ’s “Welcome to the future” came to Yingchuang to explore the future of 3D printing. Mr. Ma Yihe, the chairman of Yingchuang, received the filming group.

With the completion of the installation of the secondary bank revetment project of the Sushen Foreign Port Line (Jiangsu section), the 3D printied technology is officially applied to the national inland waterway remediation project. The completed 3D printied revetment process is simple, the line shape is smooth, and the appearance is beautiful, which provides a new idea for the construction of water transportation engineering.
