Additive Manufacturing is devoted to industrial applications of 3D printing and digital layering technology to make functional parts. We don’t cover 3D printing as it relates to making design models, movie props, sculpture or swimwear (sorry). We are exploring the use of additive manufacturing to make tooling, molds and functional prototypes, along with the ultimate aim of manufacturers: end-use p

Large-format additive manufacturing (LFAM) is enabling faster, stronger production of marine structures.
We're covering five stories detailing LFAM’s growing role in the marine sector:
- Newsfender EU launches 3D printed, sustainable boat fenders using industrial large-format 3D printers from BigRep for on-demand, customizable production of protective hardware made from recyclable TPU material.
- Nugae leverages LFAM technologies to 3D print a structural component for a 43-foot catamaran, made of 70% recycled material.
- Budapest-based Rapid Prototyping integrates LFAM into production processes for manufacturing plugs used to build fiberglass molds for boat hulls.
- Caracol utilizes its Heron 300 system to 3D print a 4,200 × 400 × 400 millimeter, 40 kilogram side air intake grille for Pershing Yachts’ GTX116 sports utility yacht.
- A collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol AM produces a full-sized, functional catamaran 3D printed in under six days.
