The first 3D-printed boat, 'built' by the world's largest 3D printer
The University of Maine broke three world records when it unveiled a boat produced by its polymer 3D printer. The 3D printer can produce objects as long as 100 feet, and printed a 25 foot, 5,000-pound patrol boat in just 72 hours.

Betting that printing a boat specifically is just a gimmick that they could use to say thinks like it taking months to build conventionally. The printer itself is more likely to be sold to major manufacturers for large scale prototyping of designs for things like cars or other similarly sized objects. But it could also serve as a fast way to create the framework for fiberglass/carbon fiber applications to build a seaworthy hull or any other application with similar production processes

There are plenty of rotational moulded boats that are super heavy duty. You could fill the hull with special foam to provide extra structural stiffness and provide buyancy in case of hull breach. Or you could just print with more heavy duty walls and more stiffeners. The future of 3d printing may also give the option to print with fibres to make composites. This is just the first and an example. Not a production model. This seems to required none of the moulds or supports required for fibreglass. Fibreglass and mouldwork give some design limitations that we have become used to.
Woooooow.😲 Now THAT is cool. Wish I’d heard about this sooner. Would’ve loved to have been at that unveiling. And I thought the metal 3-D printed bridge that’s been put in Amsterdam was impressive. 3-D Printers sure are on their way now. Next up, 3-D printed base on Mars.

Curious about the amount of post-processing. I dunno if I would trust one of my prints to be water tight enough. They probably know what they're doing though

Your prints should easily be water tight at that scale, with our common small scale printers just use 3+ perimeter walls and there is basically no way that it wont be water tight.

Kind of need to redefine foods, and also would a vegetarian eat it (if the reason they are vegetarian is cause of cruelty to animal)?
So exciting! This technology holds enormous potential for manufacturing things that are almost impossible to make now, and for manufacturing things much cheaper than we can now. In the future buildings, cars, planes and all manner of things will be made at a fraction of the current cost using it.

The technology itself is already known, it is simply a large scale 3D printer. The real challenge is whether the product is equal in quality to a boat created with conventional methods.
How much heavier than a traditional GRP build? Somebody run the numbers, I can't be bothered to research!
Too many people care about the boat details. The boat was a product demonstrator, it could have been a 25 foot long ducky, it was just to show how large this 3D printer can make a complicated form in a single pass.

My question is, why as they were printing the boat, that they didn't subdivide the hull into small sections so if part of the hull was penetrated it would only fill a small part of the boat and it wouldn't sink?
@millanferende6723

Maybe just so they can make it / print it faster. But yes! With this technology, you could probably make some incredible light weight and durable hull designs, with many sections. I totally see there being fiberglass layer on top of it, as well. Or perhaps custom boat layouts that you could plan for yourself, for big boats. Like custom boat designer. Will be really cool!
This is what you might call a water shed moment
This could literally change the market in the creation of boats for the public. Being able to build a small boat for private use quickly would make things cheaper and the cost drop significantly. Large boat companies takes the idea and snuff's out the rest by still making the boat far to expensive and discourages the tech till they need it and snuffs out the competition that tries to create affordable boats for the public. So nothing changes. Welcome to reality.
