"The first 3D-printed boat in the world
took to the water Thursday at the University of Maine, with three
quarters of Maine’s congressional delegation in it.
"U.S. Sens. Susan Collins and Angus King, Rep. Jared Golden, and founding Executive Director of the Advanced Structures and Composites Center Habib Dagher boarded the boat as it floated in the center's wave pool.
"The boat is not only the largest 3D-printed object in the world. It was also made by the world's largest 3D printer in a little more than 70 hours. The University of Maine is now home to that printer, and it's working with a national laboratory to make 3D printing more useful in manufacturing. The hope is also that the collaboration provides a boost to Maine's forest products industry by finding new uses for wood-based products."
A recent Bangor Daily News article reported on the development of this 3-D-printed boat.
