V2 Group, a Spanish company specializing in the design, engineering, and large-format 3D printing for nautical and naval applications, and Caracol AM, an Italian specialist in advanced large-format 3D printing technologies, have successfully developed the first functional 6-m-long monolithic catamaran for open waters.

This boat was produced using robotic 3D printing technology. This achievement not only demonstrates the feasibility of robotic large-format 3D printing but also establishes the foundation for a new era in the manufacturing of boats and nautical components.

The goal is to develop a product that can be industrialized and scaled, with attention to the full process: design, materials, production and post-processing. The naval industry’s requirements will be part of the process.
