I am trying to include a task of folding a bridge to Engineers in my company. This would be included in an invitation to an Engineering Seminar. I can't seem to find a diagram or directions in doing a simple bridge. Can someone help me?

i've never seen a bridge either. maybe a table or a stand or something would be easier. you could judge it on how much weight it could hold and on how high it held it.

what kind of bridge have you been thinking of?
maybe if you give a picture of the style of the bridge you want to have, someone might come up with a design :-)

oh, and welcome to the forum Image

So long and keep folding ^_^

I have no idea what is involved in making a bridge out of paper but I see so many intricate items that I thought a bridge would be easy. I work for a public company that takes care of bridges and tunnels. Any suggestions of any kind of bridge would be welcome. Thanks for your replies.

The mighty ODB gives 8 results for "bridge". Unfortunately, the two BOS publications listed now appear to be out of print. I haven't looked into availability for the other publications.

Of course, if you're really desperate you could always commission someone to design a bridge for you...

I'm sure Nick Robinson has designed a bridge ... let me check my collection.

sonobe modules could make a roughish bridge.
