The University of Maine, in the United States, developed a high-performance boat called the 3Dirigo X using 3D printing technology. The boat is 9 meters long and was built in just four days.
The 3Dirigo X is capable of reaching speeds of 74 km/h, demonstrating the potential of 3D printing for creating high-performance vessels significantly faster than traditional shipbuilding methods.
The 3D printing technology used in this project allows for creating large objects, moving away from the idea that it was only used to produce small items. This achievement represents a significant advancement in the application of additive manufacturing in the nautical sector.
