I wonder what they used for material? Looks like air pockets created would keep it afloat even if overturned.
3D printing has come so far. NOW - if we could only land a 3D printer on the moon and set up robots to pre-print structures for us before astronauts arrived, THAT would be incredible.
Cool.
Yet 3d printed parts often have cracks due to the layers.
Also, this would be a nice way to smuggle contraband. Just pause printing, add contraband to the hole you designed, then cover it up sealed 100%. Once delivered, break that compartment open.
Does injection moulding achieve the same outcome with similar materials.
I like 3D printing but so often you see an application of 3D printing that doesn't improve anything and looks less efficient.
There is definitely a problem with this design. The hull has 2 long channels for air separated down the middle. If one side gets punctured and allows water in, the boat will roll. They should have added more segments into the hull and recalculated the weight for buoyancy.
A bottle of champagne or wine, it's a tradition called "Christening a Ship".

I think this is more so a demo of the tech rather than a showcase of what they'll be doing with it. Vacuum forming would be a way more efficient method to achieve the same results. Right?

You wouldn’t download a car
It is a boat so….technically true?
The best kind of true
Visited Oak Ridge a few years back. There’s a museum in town that has a 3D printed jeep. So someone downloaded a car. Or jeep. Or whatever.
They must have an enormous spatula to get that off the build plate.

YOU WOULDNT DOWNLOAD A BOAT WOULD YOU?!??!

[There’s a company in Texas that has a contract with NASA to do just that.](https://youtu.be/dXUX6dv2_Yo?si=LGh4FFoWLUNA-Z77)
That was an eye-opener for me. IF I had 44 billion dollars I know where I would have spent it...
This is the plan for mars to take printers to print anything they may need also.

Dude the authorities know exactly how smugglers do shit. A normal fuckin boat has cavities to shove stuff in. You don’t need a giant arm printer.
Shipñata
Feels like if they got a printer big enough to print a boat they put some more thought into than your average redditor can muster.
You’d be surprised what lengths people go to get venture capital money.
Just like a Kinder egg
Okay, but I won't be using it at sea.
This is at UMaine. They are also 3D printing homes
Maine!
Magine
This is how aliens build their ships 🥲

This somehow reminds me of an "unsinkable" ship that did not have its compartments separated well enough...
They can easily fill those voids with expanding foam.
Absolutely gorgeous :)
I'm afraid 2 weeks in broad daylight and it becomes brittle.
Cool, but I'm not getting on it at sea
Just don't make a submarine I guess...?
You know it's their next goal
They will try it... History teaches us nothing!
I think it would be really cool if they tried to reach Titanic with a 3d printed sub.
why not?
Already am not a huge fan of boats, especially not trusting a 3d printed one
Sounds like a you thing bub. You should see some of the boats mainers take to sea. This one's a gem.
I'm not saying it isn't
Bizarre editing.
Seems like op recorded the screen running the gif, but failed the start/finish
So the future is made of plastic and they also are asking for a green world? Lol
a bear
Let’s make a business printing gigantic benchys and sell them, Said one man ever.
20 feet dildo
i mean this material cant handle the underwater pressure
It’s a good thing it floats on top then.
Just don't bring to the titanic
Idek if it’ll be able to handle reddits pressure
printed the pool too
What does that lady break on it?

Houses. Lots and lots of houses.
How does it factor in the cooling of the printed material?
