3D PRINTING MAKES INROADS INTO YACHT BUILDING.
I’m not old enough to remember the fiberglass revolution, but I’ve heard from many an old salt that trepidation about this newfangled material ran high. Generations of men became highly skilled wooden boatbuilders under the tutelage of their fathers, who learned from their fathers. They were making an honest living. Why would they change?
It’s been over 50 years since these declarations were made and quickly snuffed out by fiberglass. And while boat manufacturing has benefited from new technologies like vacuum resin infusion and embraced materials like carbon fiber, today’s vessels are still conceived and built in essentially the same way.
