Leading the Future: Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM) for the marine industry

ErectorCraft is leading a new era of design and engineering for the marine industry, enabling the creation of vessels, components, and marine infrastructure with unprecedented flexibility and precision.

  • 3D Printed Hulls & Components (HDPE)

    HDPE 3D-printed boat hulls are a breakthrough in marine manufacturing, offering durability, flexibility, and sustainability. High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is lightweight, impact-resistant, and corrosion-proof, making it ideal for harsh marine environments.

  • Large Format 3D Systems for Marine Manufacturing

    ErectorCraft's advanced manufacturing systems represent the future of marine fabrication. Using ErectorBot's hybrid additive and subtractive platforms, along with proven materials and techniques, we deliver full-scale marine solutions.

  • 3DCP Floating Platforms (Extrudable Concrete)

    Revolutionize infrastructure development by enabling on-site fabrication of bridges, seawalls, piers, and other large structures directly on the water. This mobile manufacturing hub reduces transport costs, boosts efficiency, and enhances precision.

Large Format Marine Manufacturing (LFMM)

Practical Applications

Onboard & Shoreside Manufacturing

3D print replacement parts, large components, or custom fittings for vessels, reducing downtime for ships and improving repair efficiency onboard at sea, shoreside, and in remote locations.

Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) Platforms

Prototype to large scale rapid production of ultra durable hull platforms and components to support deployment of USVs into the future.

Coastal and Offshore Construction

3D print large concrete or composite structures for breakwaters, seawalls, piers, and floating platforms directly on-site, reducing transportation costs and enabling rapid deployment.

Artificial Reefs and Marine Habitat Creation

Using eco-friendly materials, 3d print custom-designed artificial reefs to promote marine biodiversity and restore damaged ecosystems directly in the water.

Underwater Acoustic Sensing

3d printed hydrophones, structural components, and sonar arrays. Rapid prototyping of creating of complex shapes not available by other methods.

Disaster Relief and Humanitarian Aid

In disaster-stricken areas, 3d print temporary shelters, water purification stations, or medical facilities using locally sourced materials, providing immediate relief and infrastructure rebuilding.

Cutting-edge large format 3D systems for marine manufacturing

ErectorCraft maintains multiple proprietary process of ErectorBot 3DP and 3DCP technologies to yield full sized articles geared towards the marine industry in total.

Starting with our full line up of traditionally built TUFFSEA watercraft being supported via LFAM 3DP, ErectorCraft additionally offers equipment workstations for AM, 3DCP floating platforms, and multiple marine and infrastructure development opportunities.

Key Areas of Marine Innovation

HDPE construction, 3DCP additive construction, 3DP additive manufacturing, Subtractive manufacturing, Design, Engineering, Fabrication, Product sales, Equipment sales and licensing.

Unlock Advanced Efficiency with HDPE

HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) is an excellent material for 3D printing boat hulls and components due to its high strength-to-weight ratio, impact resistance, and buoyancy. It is highly resistant to water, UV exposure, and harsh marine environments, preventing corrosion and degradation over time. Additionally, HDPE is flexible yet durable, making it ideal for absorbing shocks and stresses on the water. Its recyclability also supports sustainable boat manufacturing.
