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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

We’ll go out on a limb here and say that a large portion of Hackaday readers are also boat-builders. That’s a bold statement, but as the term applies to anyone who has built a boat, we’d argue that it ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...
