Will boats be a breakthrough for 3D printing tech?

3D printing technology may revolutionize boat manufacturing, as demonstrated by CEAD in the Netherlands. By using a specific mix of thermoplastics and fibreglass, 3D printed boats are strong, resistant to marine conditions, and cost-effective to produce. CEAD's large-format 3D printers automate up to 90% of the boat-building process, reducing production time and costs significantly. This innovative approach is not only applicable to leisure boats but also to military vessels and unmanned drones, showcasing the versatility and potential growth of 3D printed boats in various sectors.
