One Part. No Mould.

Large format additive manufacturing for vessel hulls and composite tooling, inside the European Union.

Hull classes
Lead time

A 2.5 metre hull leaves the floor in about five hours

There is no mould to cut. A design change costs a file edit, not new tooling.

Hull classes

Printed in one piece

Mounts, bulkheads and the payload bay print inside the hull. A new payload is a file edit, not a new mould. The images below are renders, not photographs.

Sited manufacturing

A dedicated cell beside your build hall

At volume we install and run a printing cell on your site. You buy hulls out of it, never machine hours. The work stays inside your jurisdiction.

The floor

Ten to twenty millimetre beads

A single screw extruder lays polymer by the kilogramme per hour. A hybrid milling head finishes the same part on the same frame. The envelope runs to 12 metres.

Tooling

The mould is the bottleneck.

Wind blade moulds, marine hull plugs and aerospace layup tools come off the same floor. Every part is quoted against the drawing and the quantity, never a catalogue number.

Materials

Built to sit in salt water.

Glass filled polypropylene and high density polyethylene. There is no gelcoat to blister and there are no plies to delaminate, because there are no plies.
