April 10, 20223D printingBoat builder Tanaruz plans to use reusable polymer3D printingBoats, which are said to be cheaper to produce than traditional manufacturing and more sustainable. Available in a variety of styles, with length spans of 4.5-10 meters, the plan is to expand annual production of commercial vessels to 300 ships by 2023.

Tanaruz’s 3D-printed boat uses 14-meter-long3D printerManufactured to fully reflect green manufacturing. All of the company’s boats are made from recycled and recycled polymers, which are shredded and reused to print new boats at the end of the boat’s useful life.
According to Tanaruz, 3D printed boats can be produced with zero material costs and zero waste. In particular, the materials of these boats contain 30% glass fiber composite, which can provide desirable mechanical properties such as elastic stretch up to 5%, as well as heat, fire and corrosion resistance.

Traditional methods of building yachts and boats tend to be labor-intensive, making them expensive and time-consuming to produce.
Tanaruz uses a 3D printer made by Swiss-Swedish multinational electrical equipment company ABB. According to Antarctic Bear, the company’s robot Track Motion is characterized by high speed, precision and flexibility, and has been optimized for targeted functions.
The 3D printer is also equipped with an extruder made by Dutch company Xtrution, which handles the melting and extrusion process of the recycled polymer, making it fit Tanaruz’s design requirements.
According to the company,3D printing technologyFacilitates the smart and efficient production of boats through higher precision control and shorter production times, while also minimizing material waste during construction; also increases creativity and flexibility throughout the production process, in line with Tanaruz’s philosophy on eco-friendly development.
expand productivity
Tanaruz currently produces four types of boats ranging in length from 4.5 meters to 10 meters. The boats can be individually designed according to customer requirements and are equipped with eco-friendly electric motors, batteries and solar panels. And customers can choose the color, interior and equipment of the boat, etc.
3D printed boat building, in addition to its sustainability and production cost advantages, can also reduce the price of yachts for customers: entry-level prices start at around 15,000 euros, and while still too expensive for many, as production scales up, they Claimed to further reduce costs in the future.
The goal for 2022 is to 3D print around 100 yachts, with plans to increase that number to 300 by 2023. The company is currently planning to set up a branch to install more 3D printers to increase production. With the addition of the new factory, the two printers will work together to make boats over 10 meters tall, Tanaruz said.
3D printed boats are constantly evolving
Tanaruz is not the only company using3D printing technologyCompanies that manufacture boats and yachts. The University of Maine (UMaine) has 3D printed two new large ships, a logistics support vessel developed for the U.S. Marine Corps. In fact, the university broke the record for the world’s largest 3D-printed boat, measuring 25 feet long and printing it in just 72 hours.
Elsewhere, Moi Composites showcased what it claims is the world’s first 3D-printed boat made from a thermoset fiberglass material at the Genoa Boat Show 2020.
