This video shows how HP Additive‘s MJF Technology enables the production of very thin UAV parts. The wing section’s wall is so thin that, when held against a light source, it appears translucent. Thinner walls reduce overall weight, an important factor in improving UAV flight range. Watch and find out more > > https://hubs.la/Q045BLWS0 HP Additive Manufacturing (AM) Solutions - 3D Printing

Can robotic 3D printing produce structural parts for autonomous boats? At Holit , we recently explored this question in a feasibility study for an automated Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) using large-scale robotic pellet 3D printing. To test the concept, we designed and printed a full USV hull just over 1 meter long, produced in ~10 hours of robotic printing. The design integrates a custom internal pattern in the central section to increase stiffness while keeping the structure lightweight. The internal structure was specifically developed to balance stiffness and weight for this type of marine application. The final part weighs around 8 kg. The part was printed using FGFT HIPC (High Impact Performance Composite), a fiber-reinforced material developed for applications where impact resistance, strength, and durability are important. At Holit , we regularly explore new materials and applications to understand where robotic additive manufacturing can create real engineering value. #AdditiveManufacturing #Robotic3DPrinting #LargeScale3DPrinting #MarineTechnology #AutonomousSystems

Excited to be speaking tomorrow at Oceanology International on how 3D printing is transforming marine technology. Join us for the panel “Dive Deeper into 3D Printing: Marine, UUVs and Offshore Applications”, moderated by Claudia Galdini (HP Additive Manufacturing). I’ll be speaking alongside Robert Balduhn (Framework Robotics) to discuss how additive manufacturing is enabling faster innovation and real-world deployment in uncrewed underwater vehicles (UUVs) and offshore applications. We’ll cover: 🔹 Real-world use of HP Multi Jet Fusion in marine environments 🔹 The types of end-use parts being produced with 3D printing 🔹 How OEMs and contract manufacturers are using additive manufacturing for production 📅 10 March ⏰ 11:40 – 12:00 📍 South Gallery Rooms 11 & 12 🎯 Technical Conference – Uncrewed Vehicles If you're attending Oceanology International, come along and join the discussion on how additive manufacturing is shaping the future of marine and offshore industries. #3DPrinting #AdditiveManufacturing #MarineTech #UUV #OffshoreInnovation #OceanologyInternational #HPAdditive #AMufacture #FrameworkRobotics

CEAD’s Faber Navalis system is pushing 3D printing into territory that once felt unrealistic. Instead of molding sections and assembling them by hand, a robotic arm prints the entire hull as one continuous structure straight from a digital model. Composite material is laid down layer by layer to form a seamless boat up to 12 meters long. By eliminating traditional molds and reducing assembly steps, the process cuts complexity and material waste while making design changes much easier to implement. For custom vessels, defense use cases, and unmanned systems, that could mean faster production timelines and lower overall costs. We’re used to seeing 3D printing for small components. Now it’s shaping entire ships. #3dprinting #robotics #engineering #technology #innovation

Is the future of high-precision CNC actually Hybrid Manufacturing? I’ve been watching the gap close between additive and subtractive processes. In my experience, the real game-changer is using 3D printing for "near-net shape" blanks, followed by 5-axis CNC to hit those impossible final tolerances. This shift is already disrupting Aerospace and Medical sectors by slashing material waste and lead times for complex geometries. We are moving from "cutting away" to "building smart." #CNC #3DPrinting #HybridManufacturing #Aerospace #MedicalDevices #FutureOfManufacturing #VMT #VMTCNC
