The University of Maine just set three world records in one fell swoop. Using the world’s largest prototype polymer 3D printer, a UMaine team built the world’s largest 3D-printed boat, which also ...
With all its fittings and a sleek, shiny coat of paint in a snapper rocks blue metallic colour, the boat was officially launched and displayed at the 2020 Genoa Boat Show to welcome its audience to ...
Researchers at Leiden University have 3D printed the smallest boat in the world: a 30-micrometer copy of Benchy the tug boat, a well-known 3D printer test object. This boat is so small, it could float ...
In one of those weird twists of fate, there’s currently a very high chance that anyone who owns a 3D printer has made a boat with it. In fact, they’ve probably printed several of them, so many that ...
We’ll go out on a limb here and say that a large portion of Hackaday readers are also boat-builders. That’s a bold statement, but as the term applies to anyone who has built a boat, we’d argue that it ...

The maritime industry is striving to develop and implement green solutions for zero emissions and long-term sustainability. One of the latest accomplishments and one of the most promising solutions is ...
The final test was a blunt one. Maarten Logtenberg wielded a sledgehammer, which simply bounced off the sample, barely leaving a scratch. After two years of experimentation, the material was finally ...
CNC and machining specialist Thermwood Corp. (Dale, IN, US) has 3D printed a boat hull pattern using a near net shape additive manufacturing process and then successfully used to produce a ...
