“Building ships with 3D printing technology” is a work that has set 3 new world records. This is the achievement of the research group at the University of Maine in the US. That proves, 3D printers are increasingly applicable and effective for human life.
Shipbuilding with the world’s largest 3D printing technology
The team at the University of Maine, USA has successfully built a ship using the world’s largest polymer prototype 3D printer.With this achievement, the University of Maine has set at the same time three world records. It uses the world’s largest polymer prototype 3D printer; to build a ship. At the same time this is a solid object made with the world’s largest 3D printing technology. It took about 3 days to complete the ship.
The ship is called 3Dirigo, 7.62 m long, weighs 2267.96 kg; has been tested for seaworthiness at the Alfond W2 Ocean Engineering Laboratory of the University of Maine; in indoor environments with omni-directional and high-power wind generators.
At the launch last week, Center for Composites Materials Technology and Advanced Structures; The University of Maine launched the ship. The event was witnessed by members from the Guinness World Records Commission.
According to a press release by the University of Maine, this is still not the largest 3D-printed object the machine can build. If operating at full capacity; it can even print a structure 30 meters long, 7 meters wide and 3 meters high.
