🚤 3D Printing in Boat Building: The Technology Opening New Doors As I mentioned last week, the use of 3D printing in the boating industry is creating entirely new possibilities. At Torqeedo, 3D printing has become a key part of our engineering process, driving innovation in our pursuit of efficiency and sustainability. Why is 3D printing a game changer for our industry? 🛠 Technical Design Freedom: Using 3D printing technologies like Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), we can create designs completely to our specifications. It also allows us to produce low-volume parts and prototypes in-house in a very short time. FDM uses thermoplastic polymers and is ideal for custom parts and prototypes made from carbon fiber-reinforced nylon. 🌊 Large-Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM): This technology allows the boating-industry to produce large-scale parts in a single, seamless process. Imagine being able to manufacture complete boat hulls or structural components without the need for expensive and time-consuming molds. 🌍Sustainable Material Use: 3D printing supports the use of recycled and recyclable materials, helping us significantly reduce energy consumption and waste—a crucial step toward eco-friendly production. 🔧 Efficient Production Process: Additive Manufacturing enables precise and rapid layer-by-layer part manufacturing, drastically reducing production times. Additionally, the ability to print components on-site greatly improves supply chain efficiency and lowers transportation and storage costs. Currently, Torqeedo is reviewing new technologies in 3D-printing to drive further innovations in the boat industry. Future scenarios could involve components in small series or custom-made parts like individual propellers. #BoatBuilding #3DPrinting #Torqeedo #Sustainability #ElectricBoating
