We’ve seen some pretty big polymer 3D printers, but nothing quite as big as the University of Maine’s 3D printer with a 22,000 ft³ (623 m³) build volume. It holds the Guinness World Record for the ...

The University of Maine just set three world records in one fell swoop. Using the world’s largest prototype polymer 3D printer, a UMaine team built the world’s largest 3D-printed boat, which also ...

SAN DIEGO—When a door handle broke on a multi-ton vehicle, the group of Marines had two choices: drive 40 minutes across Camp Pendleton to get a replacement part with the door flapping open—or make it ...

As boring as propeller designs may seem to the average person, occasionally there’s a bit of a dust-up in the media about a ‘new’ design that promises at least a few percent improvement in performance ...

FDM stands for Fused Deposition Modeling, and it refers to the most popular and common form of 3D printing where material is ...

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 ...

BOAT BUILDING is a long-winded and tedious business, even when what is going down the slipway is a small craft made from modern materials such as fibreglass, rather than something nailed together out ...

The world's largest 3D printer has created the world's largest 3D-printed boat. And the University of Maine demonstrated Thursday that it's seaworthy. The university unveiled the 25-foot, 5,000-pound ...

A 3D-printing company plans to print large objects such as boat molds and components as it transitions research performed at the University of Maine’s Advanced Structures and Composites Center into a ...

Researchers have created the world’s smallest boat, measuring just 30 micrometers in length, so small it could sail down a human hair. Using an electron microscope and a high resolution 3D printer a ...
