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 ...

Mickey Mouse would probably give one of his trademark gloves (and maybe an ear) for a boat this cute. PRINTcess is most likely the cutest watercraft to have floated on calm waters in years, but its ...

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 ...

There’s a new technological answer to the iconic line “you’re going to need a bigger boat” from Jaws: 3D printing one. Last month, the University of Maine revealed 3Dirigo, a 25-foot, 5,000-pound boat ...

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 ...

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 ...

We’ve seen some pretty big polymer 3D printers, but nothing quite as big as the University of Maine’s 3D printer with a 22,000 ft³ (623 m³) build volume. It holds the Guinness World Record for the ...

Yeah, the future is boating. The future of manufacturing, at the least, if you consider a recent accomplishment by a team from the University of Maine Composites Center. They created a center console ...

CEAD B.V. (Delft, Netherlands) has launched the Maritime Application Center (MAC), an initiative focused on accelerating the adoption of automated, sustainable production in the maritime sector. The ...

Oct. 30 (UPI) --Researchers in the Netherlands said they used an electron microscope and a high-definition 3D printer to create the world's smallest boat, which measures just 30 micrometers in length.

BOAT BUILDING is a long-winded and tedious business, even when what is going down the slipway is a small craft made from modern materials such as fibreglass, rather than something nailed together out ...

It may seem distinctly low-tech compared to some of the many technology trends I write about, but 3D and 4D printing will have very wide applications – and could be particularly powerful when combined ...
