Dubai-based Inoventive 3D has unveiled the country's first XNUMXD-printed boat, signaling a sea change in shipbuilding.

The shark-shaped Cyberfin boat was created from recycled plastic from marine waste. The large-scale 3D printing of the hull took just six days and nine hours. The 10-meter-long, 2,1-meter-wide, 2,7-meter-high motorboat, which can accommodate 10 people, was registered with the Dubai Maritime City Authority (DMCA).

“This is a milestone not only for Inoventive 3D, but for the entire yachting industry,” the company’s management says. “Our large-format 3D printing capabilities allow us to produce hulls exceptionally quickly compared to traditional shipbuilding methods. Thanks to this innovation, our facility can produce six to seven boats per month, making Dubai the center of the 3D shipbuilding industry,” the Inoventive 3D representatives believe.

Traditional boat production takes three to four months, but 3D printing can reduce this time to a few weeks. Designers emphasize that the cost of printing a boat like Cyberfin is about one third of the cost of a conventional motor unit. In addition, Inoventive XNUMXD uses recycled materials to minimize the impact of boat production on the environment.
