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 ...

It’s an age-old problem. You draw up a nice 6.5-meter long motorboat and then discover the shape won’t allow for a fiberglass mold. What do you do? If you’re [Moi], you grab a few Kuka robots and 3D ...

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 ...

The final test was a blunt one. Maarten Logtenberg wielded a sledgehammer, which simply bounced off the sample, barely leaving a scratch. After two years of experimentation, the material was finally ...

CompositesWorld announces that the next installment in its annual Tech Days online event series will be “Thermoplastic Composite Solutions for Aerospace Structures.” The event is scheduled to take ...

Smaller things are simply better—kittens, puppies, miniature horses, miniature golf, you name it. And it looks like the physicists at Leiden University in the Netherlands agree, as they've created ...

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 ...

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 ...

Chilling in the pool while an RC (radio-controlled) boat serves you drinks, snacks, and plays your favorite tune. That’s what lazy summers are all about. Thank God for 3D printing, as it can make ...

Researchers at Leiden University in the Netherlands have created what’s probably the world’s smallest boat. Measuring just 30 microns long, the tiny model was 3D printed as part of a project ...

You can make some big 3D printed projects in your own home, but projects this massive are going to require a specialized commercial printer.
