3D Printed RC Sailboat

Introduction: 3D Printed RC Sailboat

Hi I'm Ethan and I spent large amount of time on what I would call a very interesting project.

Step 1: What Made Me Choose a Sailboat.

For about a year now I have been following the progress of the Tally Ho project. The YouTube channel Sampson Boat Co documents the mission to rebuild the 110 year old classic sailing yacht Tally Ho. Ever since I started watching this project I have been intrigued by the detail and design that goes into a sailboat. When I began this project I severely underestimated the difficulty of doing this project on Inventor and overestimated my AutoCAD Inventor skills. Although through the 11 hours I have spent trying to design and fix the endless errors created by those designs I can happily say that I'm proud of what I made and that I have progressed my inventor skills.

Step 2: Understanding the Design

I got the design for this boat from studying other ships rib sketches and designs. I used CAD Inventor to spline the shape of each rib to create the shape of the hull. The 3d model required a large ammount of work to get it to print correctly.

Step 3: 3D Printing

To print the boat I put the files into my slicer and scaled them up to 643% because of how its loaded in. The hull should add up to be about 20 inches or so. make sure to print with the largest flat surface of each part as the base to prevent warping. In you slicer's settings your going to set infill to 0 and the top and bottom layer to the minimum thickness so that you can cut the parts open. Although for the bow and stern only change the settings for the first layer. After that you should have all 6 parts done. You will also want to sand out the hole that the mast will insert into.

Step 4: Assembly

For assembling the parts I used 15 minute Resin. you should attach sets of 2 and think of where you want it to split. I chose to have the split be before the mast as shown by the black tape. The split is where I put in all of the electronics. When sealing up the split part of the boat I used hot glue so I could peel it away and reopen it to access the electronics. I know that's not the best way but I was trying to stay away from designing a hinge door on the deck.

Step 5: Electronics

For the electronics I tore apart an old RC car for the servo and receiver with matching remote. I went to a hobby shop and bought a AA battery pack for the power supply. The Servo was placed into a cut out I made in the deck with a Dremel and the rest was placed inside. Remember that depending on what your using for ballast and where it is in the boat you might have to take into account where the battery pack is placed.

Step 6: Ballast and Rudder

For the ballast I used stainless steel bb gun ammo because of how heavy it is and that is more or less form fitting. you can use other materials for ballast but take into to account how you will secure it in place. The rudder is made out of a cut as sanded paint mixer and the shaft is a shaped piece of solder with a rivet head hammered onto the top end to make sure the servo doesn't disconnect.

Step 7: Mast and Lines

Around the hull are two loops and two rods that are used as tie down points for the lines the attach to the top of the mast. Mast was also assembled using resign. Once you insert the fully assembled mast you should take string or wire and tie each of the four points to the top of the mast. Once the lines are done I cut out the mainsail using a Zip-Lock bag. the joints are made of tape and the beam along the bottom of the sail is another piece of solder.

3D Printed Radio Yachts

How To Design And 3D Print Rigid Lightweight Yachts To Go Racing

STL File Downloads: Print Your Own Yacht, IOM, RG65, 65 Class, Nano, Footy

 print your own yacht: stl file downloads.

Welcome to the download site for files developed throughout this project and others. 

These are many of the files that have been designed, printed and trialed in various radio controlled classes for 3d printing in small and large printers.

If you have any good designs you are happy to “float” to others here, please feel free to send  the STL files to me at: [email protected]

Make sure your name is on the files so that you can be credited with their design.

All   files supplied here are copyright free.

Note: these are all zip files  and need to be downloaded as such.

And…probably a good idea to read through the notes here before you launch into the printing.

The basic items needed to produce a racing yacht are supplied, but things of a specialist nature will be up to you. In some cases there are multiple parts to choose from. For instance there is the Keel Box I use on my RG and there is also one designed for Dragon Force keels and bulbs… because there are a lot of them around and good for beginners to easily get into the sport. In fact the rig I have always used on my lovely RG (yes the design you have here) is taken straight over from a DF but using my own sails. There are multiple rudder tubes and open and waterproof servo supports to suite a variety of yachts also.

Plus the advantage of digital technology is that parts can be resized in the Printer software to fit other yachts. If you haven’t already done so, I strongly suggest you invest in what is considered the best and fastest 3d printer software package: Simplify 3D at  www.simplify3d.com/

So if something doesn’t quite fit, just adjust on the 3d software. You don’t have to redesign from the beginning. Make it bigger, fatter, thinner….

All of the items listed here have been designed to be printed without 3d supports . Just change the orientation to find flat spot to place on the table.  Hulls can usually be started from the bow or the stern, the deck angles are all determined to allow for solid 3d printing and no need for bridging.

If you see things on the images that are not in the files, it is because I most likely don’t use them any more. The latest versions have been thinned right down to keep the weight as light as possible. For instance I have stopped using pot surrounds because the new PLA+ (mentioned elsewhere) is very rigid and strong. Do yourself a favour and get hold of some to try out.

Please be patient with all this, things will evolve as time goes on.

General Rudder Design

This design was very early on in our research and turned out to be a great all round rudder. It has been used on everything from the Footies to the prototype 10R. Big advantage is simplicity of construction and you can vary the size to help fine tune the boat. 

All I do is use a stainless core rod and a single solid carbon rod to add a bit more rigidity. All rudder printing is in “Vase” or “Spiral” mode (the same), this gives you a light hollow shell to work with.

Bulbs for you to resize to your ya cht.

Both shapes appear to be efficient at the speeds we use in the smaller RC yachts. Fill them with the finest lead pellet you can source. Add a small amount of epoxy then some lead, let it settle, then repeat until full. Be patient, it takes time. I could not pick any difference in performance between these and a traditional lead bulb. Yes, there is more volume but you get an excellent shape and can determine the mass you wish before printing. Make sure there are no air bubbles left in the bulb, this gives unwanted bouyancy.

Bulb A (Holland)

Bulb B (Smith Holland)

 About 18 months ago, I designed a set of waterproof boxes for the winch, servo and receiver in my yachts. These went through various stages of development as you would imagine. It is now very hard for any fresh or saltwater to get to the electronics, as a result my yachts have been completely free of electronic issues and corrosion. I still coated the exposed metal items with vaseline or similar long term oils before sealing and this acts as a second line of defence. I see all around me people having corrosion issues, but this appears to have solved the problem for me. 

As an example supporting this move, I unfortunately had an incident that filled one of the IOMs half full of water due a few months back, lucky to get it back to the wharf. I drained the water out, went home and pulled the waterproof containers apart and there wasn’t a single drop of water in any of the boxes. A great result.

There are two sets

1. IOM and bigger yacht boxes .

They are all the same for convenience and set up for Guyat Winches and Hi Tech servos. Part of the easy “lego style” approach to the RC yachts. They can be kept together in what I call ‘The Stack” or glued in seperately, however you wish. Use them for your other designs, why get you electonic bits wet if you don’ need to.

Please note. Depending on your 3d flow set up and nozzle size, you may have to play around with some resizing to get the boxes to fit each other smoothly.

2.Smaller Yachts: RG65, 65 Class, Nano, Footy

These yacht sizes tend to use the same servo type for both winch and rudder. So the set are the same… just make two of them and offset the vertical stack a bit to allow for the rudder horn to swing underneath the sheeting arm.

Dragon Force Keel version. The keel box was designed use a DF keel so anyone wanting to get into an RG65 quickly and easily could transfer their DF gear over and start sailing. 

The Deluxe “Go Fast” set up with 3d printed keel, bulb and rudder. This is a more traditional RG65/65 Class design with a keel to fit. Use carbon rods down the middle to give it stiffness. Fill the bulb with fine lead shot and epoxy mix (bit at a time). A bit more volume but the shape is very efficient and I can’t tell any performance difference between this and a lead bulb. Size the bulb on your 3d software to get the exact mass you want.

Footy Bits and Pieces

The Footy is one of Bill’s favourite yachts.

These two hulls represent the final stages in our research for an optimum hull shape and lightness for these little fellas. The main differences is around the bow, the “submarine” was designed for quick recovery and less “tripping” when knocked down while running … they seem to spend a lot of time under water going down wind because of their huge sail area to water line length. 

The other hull is a more traditional shape with a sharp tumblehome. Try the difference and let us know what you discover.

The above hull is an example of what can be done with a smallish printer. Bill Short produced the two parts of the hull seperately using the printer software and then sleeved them together. Very nicely done for his first attempt. The other “bits” also came out nicely. The Footy is a great sailing yacht and an easy one to start with.

This is the latest IOM prototype from a longish development period going back over two years. As stated elsewhere, we were very reluctant to release a design until the right material had been found (PLA+ from esun) and the boat was competitive.

So, introducing the Beta Sabre from Bill Hagerup . I’ve been sailing this design since mid 2018 and love it. It seems fine across the spectrum of conditions from short chop, long wavelength and flat ponds.

Beta Sabre 3D (N0. 46)

I hope you enjoy it as much as I am. 

In combinations with the waterproof boxes shown earlier, almost all the bits and pieces you need are here as STL files. You will need to make your own 10 mm thick bumper and create a stern or bow plate by printing 4  or 5 layers of a hull and stopping to give you the shape to glue in place.

Don’t forget the “lego” nature of all this, please feel free to use the fittings for your other yachts as you wish. They are all copyright free and we are gifting them to the RC community to help promote our beautiful sport . We will all win from you guys going out there and making this all happen.

I have often read: “When All Else Fails…. Read The Manual”

Well we don’t have a manual here, so how about: “When All Else Fails… View The Construction Pictures”.

Rather than try to explain everything, have a good look at the set of images below showing the various key construction processes. If you are unsure, please feel free to ask at: [email protected]

The STL files are at the end … yes you may need to do some minor resizing as needed. This is easy through a program like “Simplify 3d”.

This is what you get to make the following:

A couple of things to be aware of:

• The keel is designed around the latest Craig Smith fin design. If you can’t get this keel and have another, no problem, just work out you dimensions in cross section and change the slot profile until it fits. Then trim you keel head to fit inside the box. The last item is to fit the holding bolt in the right spot.
• The keel box support struts are telescopic to make them easy to install. Follow the pictures to see how it is done. To hold them in place I bend a small strip of PLA and add to the sliding section to give some tension to hold the head in place before the gluing.
• When using epoxy, add some filler until it is slow to flow. This helps strengthen the adhesion. Straight epoxy is not as good by itself. Also prepare the surface by rubbing with methylated spirits (ethanol) to remove the slight greasy surface that comes with 3d printing then sand both surfaces with a relatively coarse sandpaper. Try to keep the epoxy volume to a minimum. The PLA+ and epoxy adhere strongly.
• The boat appears to be nicely balanced with the battery pack ahead of the mast as shown. But it is up to you how you wish to set all this up. 
• The rudder rod and sheet are run through the false transom at the stern. Once the position of the hole is worked out and made, I use vinyl tape (not insulation tape) to add extra support for the movement. I did this originally as a short term solution and have been using it ever sense. Easy and waterproof.
• When cutting and creating holes in the this PLA+ run the Dremel or drill at the lowest possible speed to stop the plastic from melting. This material cuts very nicely. I use heavy duty scissors for flat sections.
• Main pot size : 95x80mm (to allow the keel box to maneuvered and turned in there to put into place plus room for the waterproof servo and winch boxes) 
• Battery pot size : 40x43mm (to allow the battery box to be epoxied to the hull… if that is where you want it)
• Receiver pot: 35x35mm (just big enough to get the receiver box in there)
• Wait until you have the keel installed before setting the rudder. This means you can install the rudder exactly parallel to the keel fin. Allow a slightly larger hole at the top of the deck to give you the option of lining up the rudder to the keel… however you do that, clamps etc.)
• When attaching eyelets and deck fittings, I run a few drops of epoxy into the hole before screwing/inserting the item. Any items with stress on the deck (ie sheet return) should have support underneath. The sheet layout I use is basic but but very effective and you can see this in the photographs. Again up to you.
• Most will almost certainly be slicing and sleeving in some shape or form depending on the printer. I’ve added some images showing how to sleeve two sections together. The sleeve is made by printing a section of the hull (30-40mm wide) and then cutting a small slice out to allow it to fit neatly inside the two sections.
• Finally, the blue Sabre below is 160mm wide and the red Sabre is 170mm wide. I also have a 145 mm wide one. Which is the best? In waves and short chop, the wider ones appear to be better but in light air on flat water, the narrow one seems to be faster. The beauty of digital files is you can choose your width and dial it up on the 3d software. Let us know what you discover.

Before and After

Dremel cutting tools are worth their weight in gold. Remember to run the cutting tools and drills as slow as possible to stop melting the plastic. PLA+ cuts easier than normal PLA.

How to get the Keel Box in.

• Place a layer of epoxy on the hull floor ready for the base of the box
• Enter box down at an angle
• Slide into the hull
• Turn around
• Lift up into the position to slide forward
• Lift the deck carefully to allow the Keel Box to slide forward into place.
•  Place the spring loaded struts into place at 45 degrees.
• Epoxy all in place

Multistep drills are very useful when creating holes on the deck

Sleeving is an easy and strong way to get sections connected. Simply print a section either side of where the join will be, then cut a small slice out to get it to fit inside the two sections. Alternatively, shrink the sleeve a tad until it fits neatly inside without cutting a slice. Finally, epoxy together.

Making the rudder . This image shows the bent internal 4mm rod and the carbon tube insert to add to the stiffness. The rudder shell was formed using the single layer “spiral” mode.

B. Detailed description of the pin, sheeting and deck layout

This description is for the IOM Sabre 3D. Just scale the process down for the smaller RC yachts.

First, if you haven’t please make sure you print with PLA+ from Esun. You should be able to secure a supplier either in country or internationally.

OK sizes for fittings. I use very basic layouts, and therefore rarely have things go wrong.

Front pin for A rig jib swivel depends on where your sivel is on the boom. The pin is 310mm from the front of the mast, this gives a small clearance to swing past the mast. 

The sheet post is approximately 210mm behind the mast in the centre of the deck and set in a tube secured to the bottom of the hull. 

The side stays are just behind the mast on the sides and and in line with the front edge of the keel. Please make sure you secure all pins with something solid below the deck… I glue three or four layers of PLA sheeting underneath with superglue if I can’t get the pin down through something solid like a strut. Drill a slightly undersized hole for the pins, test screw them in then remove and then drop a small amount of epoxy into the drill hole before finally securing them. Works well, nice and strong.

The rudder shaft is 55mm from the stern in the centre of course. Backstay pin is set in the backplate at the stern. The sheeting and rudder shaft are run out through the 45 degree bulkhead at the rear through deck and a sheet of sticky back or high quality insulation tape. The tight fit keeps it all water tight. They really do work, the trick is lining up the holes to set them straight through… good luck, a bit of thinking required there.

The sheeting is swivelled (returned) at the stern and starboard side stay. The side stay has two pulleys, one for the sheet and the other for the elastic for tensioning. This is a basic layout that works well and is mostly above deck to see if anything is going wrong. 

Images attached below to help you visualise this.

That is the system I use for the Nano, RG65, 65 Class, IOM and 10R. The only differences are the dimensions.

Good luck and hope this helps.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Is the hull designed to be printed in vase mode.

Yes. Vase mode guarantees good layer adhesion and the best surface quality, and it reduces a lot the printing time.

What material do you recommend to print the Alioth files?

We recommend PLA+ or PLA.

PLA is stiff, has low shrinkage and is easy to print. The disadvantage is a low glass transition temperature.

Darker colours warp on direct sunlight as the temperature of the surface builds up fast. To avoid this, use bright clear colours.

Don’t leave printed parts in a car on hot summer days, as the temperature can easily rise above 50°C.

Revolutionizing RC Sailboats with 3D Printing Technology

• By - Kyle Hilson
• Posted on May 3, 2023 June 2, 2023
• Posted in RC Boats

RC sailboats are a popular hobby enjoyed by many people worldwide. They are miniature models of real sailboats that are powered by wind and controlled remotely. RC sailboats come in different shapes and sizes, and enthusiasts can easily customize their boats by adding decorations or changing the design of their boats. In recent years, there has been an increase in the use of 3D printing technology in the design and construction of RC sailboats. 3D printing technology has revolutionized the way hobbyists can create their sailboats, making it easier and more affordable to create custom designs. In this article, we will discuss the benefits of 3D printed RC sailboats, the design and build process, performance advantages, examples and success stories, maintenance and repairs, and the future of 3D printed RC sailboats. If you are looking to get into RC sailboats or want to take your hobby to the next level, read on to learn how 3D printing technology can take your RC sailboat experience to new heights.

Benefits of 3D Printed RC Sailboat

The benefits of 3D printing in the construction of RC sailboats are evident. Here are some of the advantages of using this technology:

• 3D printing makes it easier and more affordable to create custom RC sailboats
• Greater precision and accuracy in design and construction
• Boats can be made faster and with greater customization than traditional methods
• More complex designs can be achieved with 3D printing .
• Parts can be easily replaced in case of damage
• Access to a wide range of materials to choose from for printing

Several websites offer plans and designs for 3D printed RC sailboats that hobbyists can use as a starting point. Others sell 3D printed parts that can be used to upgrade existing sailboats. One such website is Cults3D, which offers several RC sailboat models available for download. With 3D printing, the possibilities for creating unique, personalized RC sailboats are endless.

What are the benefits of 3D printing in construction?

If you’re interested in learning more about 3D printing in construction or trying it out, you can check out websites like 3Dnatives or companies like ICON.

Design and Build Process

Building a 3D printed RC sailboat involves the following steps:

Design Phase

• Choose the right type of RC sailboat design
• Create a 3D model of the boat using a 3D software like Fusion 360 or Tinkercad
• Optimize the design for 3D printing by checking the design for potential errors and ensuring that it is watertight

Construction Phase

• Select materials suitable for 3D printing the boat
• Use a 3D printer to print the parts of the boat
• Assemble the parts of the boat
• Add electronics, such as a motor and servo , as necessary

It is interesting to note that the use of Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) printers is popular for 3D printing RC sailboats. This is because FDM printers can print objects that are water-resistant and durable.

Before starting the print process, it is essential to choose the right filament material . Common materials used for 3D printing RC sailboats include PLA , ABS , Nylon , PETG , and TPU . PLA is a popular choice because of its ease of use, low cost, and eco-friendliness. On the other hand, Nylon is a very durable material that can withstand challenging sailing conditions.

Example of Bill of Materials

What is the structure of a sailboat.

A sailboat is composed of several parts that work together to navigate through water. Below is a brief overview of the typical structure of a sailboat:

• Hull – the main body of the boat, which provides buoyancy and stability
• Deck – the uppermost surface of the boat, which provides a platform for crew members to move around on
• Mast – a vertical pole that holds the sails aloft
• Sails – large pieces of fabric that are attached to the mast and boom and catch the wind to propel the boat forward
• Boom – a horizontal pole that holds the bottom of the mainsail
• Rudder – a flat piece of metal or wood at the stern of the boat that is used to steer
• Keel – a weighted fin that is attached to the bottom of the boat and helps keep it stable while sailing

Understanding the structure of a sailboat is crucial for sailing safety. If you’re interested in learning more about this topic, websites such as sailmagazine.com and sailtraining.org offer useful information and resources. Additionally, products such as “The Annapolis Book of Seamanship” by John Rousmaniere provide a comprehensive guide to sailing and sailboat anatomy.

3D printed RC sailboats offer several advantages over traditional models. Some of these advantages include:

Lightweight Construction

• 3D printing allows for lightweight construction, which improves the boat’s speed and maneuverability
• Designers can optimize the weight distribution of the boat to achieve optimal performance

Design Flexibility

• 3D printing enables designers to create complex geometries and designs that are not possible with traditional methods
• Designers can create more aerodynamic and hydrodynamic shapes, leading to faster sailing speeds

Customizability

• With 3D printing , designers have complete control over the design and construction of the boat
• Customization options are virtually endless, from hull shape to color scheme

Interestingly, a 3D printed RC sailboat designed by Gary Smith set the record for the fastest wind-powered boat in 2016, reaching a speed of 68.01 miles per hour. This demonstrates the potential that 3D printed RC sailboats have for high performance.

Several websites offer resources for anyone interested in building their own 3D-printed RC sailboat , including Thingiverse , Pinshape , and MyMiniFactory . These sites offer boat designs, 3D printing instructions, and other resources to help enthusiasts get started on their projects.

Can you 3D print a sailboat?

Yes, it is possible to 3D print a sailboat, however, it largely depends on the design and size of the sailboat.

• 3D printing can be cost-effective and offer limitless possibilities for custom designs.
• Large 3D printers are required for printing bigger scale boats.
• 3D printing technology is still evolving, and its application in the marine industry is still limited.

Various companies like the Italian start-up Livrea Yachts have used 3D printing technology to create customized sailboats. However, it’s worth noting that traditional sailboat manufacturing methods are still the most commonly used.

There are numerous 3D printed RC sailboats that have gained popularity in recent years, including:

OpenRC Sailboat

• Designed by Daniel Noree and featured on Thingiverse, the OpenRC Sailboat is a popular option for hobbyists
• It features a sleek design, with a V-shaped hull and three triangular sails
• The boat is customizable, with options for different material thicknesses depending on desired weight and durability

Ada Lovelace’s RC Sailboat

• Engineering students at the University of Southampton recreated Ada Lovelace’s 1845 sailboat design using 3D printing and modern RC technology
• The resulting boat was not only functional, but also historically significant

Little RC Yacht

• Designed by MyRCCar, this boat features a classic yacht design with modern RC components
• The boat is easy to assemble and can be printed in sections to fit smaller 3D printers

In addition to these designs, many hobbyists have successfully designed and built their own 3D printed RC sailboats . Online communities such as RC Groups and the 3D Printing subreddit offer resources and support for those interested in pursuing this hobby.

What is the most popular RC sailboat class?

The most popular RC sailboat class is the International One Metre (IOM) because of its affordability, ease of transportation, and competitive racing opportunities worldwide. Some of the benefits of IOM racing include:

• A well-established class with a large and active community
• An affordable price point for both building and purchasing ready-to-sail boats
• Ease of transportation due to the smaller size of the boats compared to other classes
• Opportunities to race competitively at local, national, and international levels

For more information about IOM racing, visit the International Radio Sailing Association website.

Maintenance and Repairs

Maintaining and repairing a 3D printed RC sailboat is similar to traditional RC sailboats, with a few key differences due to the materials used. Here are some tips to keep your 3D printed RC sailboat in top condition:

• Use a low-strength filament for parts that require flexibility, such as sails or rigging
• Inspect the boat regularly for cracks or damage, as 3D printed parts are more prone to breakage than traditional materials
• Keep the boat dry and store it in a protective case to prevent warping
• Use sandpaper or a file to smooth any rough edges or corners on printed parts

E-Motion Rudder Drive, an electric engine with… the Propeller installed into the Rudder

Hanse Yachts introduces E-Motion Rudder Drive – an interesting propulsion type, with a special folding propeller….

An electric engine and a folding propeller have been installed into the rudder shaft, replacing the combination of diesel engine and sail drive. As a result, the propeller thrust is in line with the rudder position. This enables turning in the smallest circles or rotating around your own keel; it could be a perfect solution for maneuvering in narrow ports.

Making 4.5 knots with calm seas, the new Hanse 315 equipped with four lithium-ion batteries has a range of up to to 30 nautical miles – enough for all European inland waters and many coastal waters. At lower speeds, the range is significantly increased. The Rudder Drive can also be used with two batteries if a shorter range is required. The maximum speed is 6.1 knots – nearing the maximum speed of the diesel version.

The quiet Rudder Drive is also lightweight: 100 kg less than the diesel saildrive option. The Rudder Drive does not require a hole through the hull, lowering the resistance while sailing. The electric drive’s simplicity means less maintenance, as well.

E-Motion Rudder Drive: watch the video

From a standstill position, the yacht immediately starts to turn without having to pick up speed first. In addition, you enjoy all benefits of an electric engine. It will be the future?

Hanse 460 review: First in a new range

• David Harding
• January 26, 2023

The Hanse 460 is the first in a new range of Hanses. From new designers, she is already a big hit, with over 200 sold and a European Yacht of the Year win to its name. David Harding reports

Product Overview

Price as reviewed:.

For some of us, sailing has always been about the functional and fundamental. We enjoy sailing for sailing’s sake. But today people want so much more from a boat and, in many respects, today’s yachts undoubtedly offer a lot more and the Hanse 460 attempts to do just that.

What you might loosely call the mainstream European builders of family cruising yachts have been following this path for some time, making each generation of designs bigger and plusher than the last. For Hanse in particular, it has been a rapid evolution from the small, basic and functional to the large and luxurious.

This latest Hanse is the first to be designed by Berret-Racoupeau. After the earliest models, which used the moulds of discontinued, slim-hulled Scandinavian designs, every Hanse has been designed by Judel/Vrolijk in what became one of boatbuilding’s most enduring and successful partnerships.

In line with modern trends, each new wave of Hanses has been higher, wider and more voluminous than the last. Founder Michael Schmidt never lost sight of the performance side, however. For all their growing girths and towering topsides, Hanse has always made boats that sail – competitively-priced, high-volume cruisers but with easy handling (self-tacking jibs were used from the early days) and better performance than many of the alternatives.

The Hanse 460 is different. Very different. The first model from a new alliance with the French designers, it promptly won the European Yacht of the Year as the best Family Cruiser for 2022. A Hanse 510 version now follows.

The big question was whether Hanse had managed to do something different while retaining the qualities that its owners had traditionally sought.

At a glance, the Hanse 460 looks sleeker and sportier than earlier models; more angular, with a reverse rake to the bow and a pronounced knuckle running to about half-way aft. In Hanse tradition there are no hard-angled chines but, in this case, a pronounced soft chine towards the stern. In plan view you see full forward sections which, combined with the broad stern, generous freeboard and ample beam, hold the promise of enormous interior volume.

At the other end, a moulded bowsprit projects the anchor clear of the stem and provides an attachment point for an outer forestay which can carry a reaching headsail. Large windows in the topsides help to break up the high freeboard.

Scale those topsides and you’re faced with an expanse of wide, flat deck and coachroof. Moulded bulwarks edge the side decks to help keep feet where they belong should you venture forward when the boat’s heeled. Otherwise what stands out is the uncluttered appearance – lines are led aft beneath separate mouldings – and the plethora of deck hatches hinged every which way, including one that opens to reveal a large bow locker.

There was certainly nothing to complain about in the performance and handling department. We slipped along very nicely on a flat sea in 12-14 knots of wind, clocking around 7.5 knots with the apparent wind at just under 30°, and tacking through around 80° by the compass.

Enjoyable sailing

Weather helm was slight and the load on the wheels increased relatively little if I tried bearing away with the sheets pinned in, the single rudder providing plenty of grip. Provoked in the opposite direction, she coped well when pinched mercilessly and also when thrown into tight spins, only stalling briefly.

At least in the flat water and modest breeze we encountered, the cockpit worked well. In any wind and seaway you would be pleased to have the optional second table to port as a bracing point. At the helm stations you have a comfortable perch outboard of the wheel or, for energetic downwind sailing when you might need both hands, behind it. The Jefa linkage is light and direct, giving a good feel from the rudder. On the starboard side you can wind down the bifurcated backstay when extra headstay tension is needed.

Today’s cockpits are no longer just places from where you control the boat. Controlling the boat in itself is so much easier anyway, especially if – as most owners of the Hanse 460 will – you upgrade to electric winches, electric in-mast reefing and electric furling for the genoa on the outer forestay.

Other push-button options are for the hinge-down bathing platform and the cockpit tables (either side or both), which can be lowered to create large lounging areas. Alternatively there are fixed tables, as we had on the port side. A wet-bar can be added between the helm seats. It’s all part of making the cockpit a multi-function space in which every part can serve a variety of purposes. Cockpit stowage is in the form of a half-depth locker each side and – a first for Hanse – a dedicated liferaft locker right aft to starboard. With the electric-lowering option for the starboard table comes an extra moulded seat pod, which provides readily-accessible shallow stowage forward of the starboard helm and would be good to have for that reason alone.

Moving about the deck and cockpit, and from one to the other, is easy in good weather. The wide open spaces let you simply stroll around – or lounge if you’re so inclined. Then again, they tend to present more of a challenge when a boat’s bouncing and heeling.

Lifestyle choices

Externally, the hull lines clearly differentiate the 460 from her earlier stablemates, but down below it’s a world apart. It’s certainly a more classy finish than we’ve seen before from Hanse; restrained in tone and a level above what we have become used to. Berret-Racoupeau is one of relatively few yacht design studios to have its own interior-design division.

A host of interior layouts is available, from three to five cabins, up to four showers and from six to 10 berths. About the only constant is the presence of twin double cabins in the stern. Otherwise you can have different arrangements in the bow (cabins and heads) and amidships with a long or short linear galley and a bunk cabin or utility room to starboard where our boat had a chart table and heads compartment.

Details include backrests that hinge down in the saloon to provide trays and drinks-holders. You can press a button to lower the table, press another to pop up the TV from its central pod, and settle in for the evening.

Down here it’s all about sight-lines, integrating the different areas so no one feels left out, and ensuring that, as in the cockpit, every part of the layout performs multiple functions. In practice it creates a thoroughly pleasant and remarkably light environment.

Sometimes you come across a boat that makes you realise not only that yacht design has changed irrevocably, but also why it has changed and why it’s not going back. The Hanse 460 is unquestionably such a boat. How the crew lives aboard and moves around, both above and below decks, has clearly been thought about in the context of modern lifestyles. And this boat exudes style. If you like the fundamental design, you will be able to tailor many of the options and details to suit your tastes. A yacht like this is unlikely to slice to windward in heavy weather as comfortably as, say, a first-generation Swan 46, but most people aren’t really interested in that these days. I suspect the new Hanse will prove to be a pretty quick and competent all-rounder nonetheless. Simple sailing? The technology is not remotely simple any more. But with the Hanse 460, the sailing itself is simple and can still be a lot of fun.

Technology cooperation for new sailing yacht drive

Rudder Drive, the new electric propulsion system for sailing yachts developed by Torqeedo together with the large-scale boat builder Hanse Yachts and rudder manufacturer Jefa, combines outstanding maneuverability and minimal weight with a powerful emission-free motor.

The core of this innovative concept is the proven and specially adapted Torqeedo Cruise 4.0 with folding propeller, designed in to the rudder blade itself. The streamlined system replaces the combustion inboard or saildrive and removes the need for a separate thruster on the new sailing yacht Hanse 315 e-motion rudder drive, which debuts at the end of October.

Outstanding maneuverability

Due to the unique rudder placement of the 4 kW (8 horsepower equivalent) Torqeedo electric motor, the motor can apply efficient, directional thrust. The Jefa rudder blade’s range of motion was extended to a total of 100 degrees. Demanding maneuvers can now be accomplished without a separate thruster. While motoring, the yacht can spin on its own axis – both forward and in reverse. While docking, the stern can easily be maneuvered into the proper position. This is highly useful in windy conditions or in narrow slips.

Exceptional endurance with minimal weight

Power generation while sailing

With integrated Torqeedo fast chargers, the emission-free version of the Hanse 315 is fully charged in just three hours. The batteries can be recharged at the dock or during sailing when the Rudder Drive’s folding propeller is used to generate power. Torqeedo is the only manufacturer of electric boat propulsion systems offering industrial engineering, complete system integration and ISO 9001 certified serial production in Germany.

World launch at the Hanseboot Hamburg

For the first time, the new propulsion system will be presented installed in the Hanse 315 e-motion rudder drive at the International Boat Show Hanseboot 2016 in Hamburg. We are looking forward to welcoming you to the Hanse Yachts booth (hall 6, booth C108) on Sunday, October 30, 2016 at 2 pm.

Nominee Spotlight: Hanse 510

• By Andrew Parkinson
• October 5, 2023

The Berret-Racoupeau-designed Hanse 460 turned heads as a 2022 Boat of the Year nominee with a fresh take on comfort and volume but with an eye better sailing performance. The second model in the new range designed by the Berret-Racoupeau team, the Hanse 510 is set to make its US premiere at the 2023 Annapolis Sailboat Show—again as a Boat of the Year contender. From what our editors saw at the model’s recent showing in Cannes, the 510 is expected to be a formidable opponent in its category during CW ’s Boat of the Year judging.

As for dockside demeanor, this new range’s calling card appears to be a marked chine on the bow and an inverted bow to optimize sailing performance. According to the designers, attention was also paid to refining the hull shape to maximize interior space. The result is an easy-on-the-eyes 51-footer that values smooth sailing and fast, comfortable cruising.

According to the builder, the Hanse 510 offers unrivalled volume in the 50-foot class, courtesy of an optimized hull design. Chines at the bow and aft further allow for a slim waterline, ensuring prime performance and easy sailing.

The 510 is equipped with a large, practical dinghy garage, capable of holding an inflated dinghy of up to 8.8 feet; and the optional, newly developed Hanse Smart Tender System makes launching that dinghy as simple as “driving a car out of the garage.” Convenience and style dominate the interior. Even the crew cabin gets in on the volume action, as it’s much more than the typical (read: small) crew sleeping space—it is a room worthy of staying a while. The options list is lengthy, and the boat can be highly customized to meet owners’ needs.

“Expectations were high after the outstandingly successful Hanse 460, which has been awarded European Yacht of the Year,” says Hanjo Runde, CEO of HanseYachts. “The new Hanse 510 is the logical and consistent further development of the new concept. With her impressive volume, tremendously dynamic lines and countless options, she is redefining the 50-foot class. It is an easy to sail and enormously spacious private retreat.” 

The key talking points of the 510 are numerous. A hydrodynamic design with a slender waterline promotes better hull speed. Chines fore and aft allow for a wider hull and more interior space. The reverse, wave-piercing bow makes the yacht pitch less in strong winds, while the pronounced bow chines keep the foredeck as dry as possible. On deck, the strategically placed helm position promotes total control of the Hanse 510 in any situation, with all navigation and performance information easily accessible, as well as all lines and even the electric winches on the port side. An optional hardtop shades the entire cockpit including the steering positions, and it blends seamlessly with the boat’s silhouette. It is also available in several colors and accommodates special lighting and solar panels. A fixed windscreen is another option. 

The novel dinghy garage is capable of holding a dinghy of up to 8.8 ft without having to deflate it. Combined with the optional automatic comfort stairs and the newly developed Hanse Smart Tender System, a single crew member can safely and comfortably deploy the dinghy, including engine, in minutes.

Another novelty on the Hanse 510 is the easy-to-open life raft storage space in the cockpit. Situated just in front of the companionway, it’s easily accessible and has space for standard 8-person life raft containers. An optional wet bar with grill and sink is hinged at the stern so as not to absorb precious cockpit space. 

The boat comes rigged with a self-tacking jib, and all lines run back to the cockpit for simple sail handling of the 710 sq. ft. mainsail and various headsails. The jib is 570 sq. ft. and the reacher measures 1,011 sq. ft., set up using a Solent-style rig on the custom bowsprit. Air draft of the deck-stepped mast is just over 77 feet above the waterline. Optional electric furling systems and winches make light work of handling halyards and sheets for the optimum in performance, short-handed sailing. The standard boat comes with a single, 80 hp saildrive, although an upgraded, optional 110 hp diesel is also available.

Within the interior, 14 well positioned opening hatches and eight opening windows and portholes permit maximum light and ventilation below deck. A long list of layout options are said to be available for the interior arrangement, from an “owner’s yacht” with a best-in-class sized master cabin, to a “charter yacht” with 10 berths, three bathrooms and an additional skipper cabin. The galley can be fully adapted to the owner’s needs as well: In addition to various refrigerator and freezer options, there is room for a wine cooler, dishwasher and a three-burner gas cooker plus an oven in the longitudinal pantry, which can be customized with a vast choice of colors and materials. Another option is a fully equipped navigation area with a forward-facing seat and a large salon table. The extensive options list, ranging from a washing machine in the utility room to flatscreens in the master cabin and salon, is crowned by the Flagship Package, which includes highest-end fabrics and materials, not to mention a “hidden” bar behind the folding backrest in the salon.

At its core, the Hanse 510 emphasizes a roomy cockpit, large but manageable sail plan, and overall performance that is easily managed by a couple, but perhaps what really sets the Hanse 510 apart from other sailboats in its class is the limitless level of customization the builder is willing to offer. The Hanse 510 also comes with a CE rating of A-12, so it is well suited for those who want to venture longer distances.

The little (electric) engine that could: The Port of San Diego unveils the nation’s first all-electric tug boat

The 82-foot eWolf expects to eliminate 3,100 metric tons of carbon dioxide

• Show more sharing options
• Copy Link URL Copied!

The nation’s first all-electric tug boat has docked at the Port of San Diego and expects to begin emissions-free operations in about a month.

Operated by Crowley Maritime Corporation , the 82-foot eWolf will escort ships entering and leaving the Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal using electric power instead of diesel fuel, helping slash greenhouse gas emissions at the port and its neighbors in Barrio Logan and National City.

For the record:

1:58 p.m. March 13, 2024 This story has been updated to show the correct amount of government funding that went to the project.

“This is a big deal,” said port chairman Frank Urtasun at a news conference Monday. “This is new technology.”

Capable of speeds of up to 12 knots, the eWolf is powered by a 6.2 megawatt-hour main propulsion battery and two electric drives. The tug has thrust — also known as bollard pull in the parlance of the shipping industry — of 76.8 short tons, which is more powerful than the diesel-powered counterparts at the port.

Constructed in Alabama, the eWolf is equipped with two small generators for emergency use that allow the boat to travel longer distances at a reduced speed.

“Like an electric car, you step on the gas and it jumps,” said Paul Manzi, vice president of Crowley Shipping, based in Jacksonville, Fla. “All of the attributes that you have with an electric motor operation in a car or in an electric truck, you see here in the (eWolf) at massive scale. And it’s extremely quiet so when it pulls away from the dock you literally won’t hear any noise.”

The tug boat’s electricity will come from a charging station that is part of a microgrid facility equipped with two energy storage containers. Battery modules in each container have storage capacity of nearly 1.5 megawatt-hours.

Interconnected with the help of San Diego Gas & Electric, the charging station at the port is designed to allow the vessel to recharge quickly and reduce peak loads on the electric grid.

Operators plan to charge the eWolf overnight so it can perform its chores during daytime hours.

“This technology has individually been around for a while, but it hasn’t necessarily been integrated and optimized to all work together — and that’s kind of our role,” said Bruce Strupp, vice president at ABB Marine & Ports , the company that designed the boat’s propulsion system. “Some of the technology is our technology, some of it’s third-party technology, but we integrate it all together.”

The electric tug boat is expected to begin commercial operations at the port in mid- to late-April, depending on the completion of the charging station.

Officials at Crowley did not release the eWolf’s price tag Monday, saying only that it cost about twice as much as a conventional diesel-powered tug boat of comparable size.

But, Manzi said, the company expects the eWolf’s maintenance and operating costs will be “dramatically lower” than what’s spent on a diesel-powered tug boat because the electric model has fewer moving parts.

The entire project — the vessel as well as the charging station — received four grants that added up to $13.67 million, with two grants of $10.9 million from the San Diego Air Pollution Control District, one grant of just over $2 million from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and $750,000 from the federal government’s Maritime Administration.

In 2020, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order that directed state agencies to transition off-road vehicles — including tug boats — and equipment to 100 percent zero emissions by 2035.

By replacing one of the port’s diesel-powered tugs, the eWolf is expected to eliminate the consumption of about 35,000 gallons of diesel fuel per year. In its first 10 years of use, the electric tug boat is expected to reduce about 3,100 metric tons of carbon dioxide from the port and its surrounding areas such as Barrio Logan and National City.

“We’re trying to be good neighbors and trying to be able to help to reduce emissions here to help the electrification movement,” Urtasun said, adding that the port has spent about $130 million on various electrification projects.

Last year, the Port of San Diego became the first in North America to install a pair of all-electric cranes to load and off-load heavy cargo. Each 262 feet high, the cranes replaced an older crane that ran on diesel fuel. Together, the cranes expect to help the port reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 47 metric tons per year.

What candela’s electric hydrofoiling passenger ferry means for sustainable transportation.

The all-electric-powered Candela P-12 ferry flies over the water on hydrofoils

I would never say “I told you so,” but…now that Candela , the world’s leading producer of all-electric-powered hydrofoiling boats, has just closed the largest funding round in the company's history, I might be bold enough to say…”I’m not surprised.”

That’s because I’ve been closely following the development of this wonderfully smart company’s hydrofoiling boats since I test flew a P-7 near their small and efficient shop in Stockholm in 2021. So, I’m really not surprised they just raised over $25 million to expand production of their game-changing P-12 ferry. And since yacht building powerhouse Groupe Beneteau is a key partner in the largest fundraising round Candela has ever completed it appears Candela’s brand of tech-controled hydrofoiling is about to go global.

“Our investment perfectly aligns with Groupe Beneteau‘s ecological transition objectives, scaling up innovative solutions for more sustainable boating and unparalleled experiences,” says Bruno Thivoyon, CEO of Groupe Beneteau, the world's largest boat manufacturer (15 factories, 9 brands, and more than 8,000 yachts built annually) with a total revenue of over $1.5 billion in 2023. “Candela’s technology, enabling significantly more efficient electric vessels, will transform waterborne transport into its next sustainable phase.”

“We couldn’t be more excited about having Groupe Beneteau on board,” says Gustav Hasselskog, Founder and CEO of Candela. “As the leading global boat company, their trust is a stamp of approval for our technology to transform waterborne transportation. We’re excited for the possibilities ahead."

Best High-Yield Savings Accounts Of 2024

Best 5% interest savings accounts of 2024.

The new investment round will help to scale up production to meet demand for the recently launched Candela P-12, the world’s first electric hydrofoil ferry. The P-12 is the first fast and long-range electric ferry on the market. Its efficient hydrofoil technology cuts lifetime emissions by 97.5% compared to diesel vessels, while simultaneously allowing operators to save up to 50% in operating costs. Since it generates minimal wake, the P-12 has been granted exemptions from speed limits, as for example on its maiden route in Stockholm, where it from July will cut travel times in half compared to road transport and legacy diesel vessels.

And it’s pretty obvious Hasselskog and company are on the right track. According to some projections the market for electric vessels is expected to be worth $14.2 Billion USD in 2030.

“We’ve spent years developing the technological maturity, and now we’re fit for scaling to commercial vessels. As in any industry, the fastest-scaling company will dominate the market,” says Hasselskog.

Other backers in the round include longtime investors EQT Ventures , Ocean Zero LLC , and Kan Dela AB. The new investment brings total funding since Candela’s inception to over $75 million.

“EQT Ventures has steadfastly backed Candela's vision to accelerate the shift towards fossil fuel-free lakes and oceans since 2021. The launch of Candela's P-12 vessels signifies a watershed moment in sustainable transport", says Lars Jörnow, Partner at EQT Ventures.

The only question is: when will we see a P-12 ferry here in the US?

Candela’s electric ferries multiply as the startup lines up $25M in new funding

Electric boat maker Candela is approaching cruising speed with $25 million in new funding and the first commercial deployment of its new P-12 ferry in New Zealand. The company has global ambitions for its highly efficient boats and has completed and delivered dozens of them — which is a lot in this industry!

Candela has been slowly upping the size of its vessels for years, starting with the considerably smaller C-7 and C-8 (noting the length in meters) — of which, as of this week, they have now produced a total of 70. The P-12, a ferry design that can handle up to 30 passengers, made its debut late last year .

Just last week, the P-12 was given its first assignment: ferry people around New Zealand’s Lake Manapōuri , a scenic destination but also, more importantly, the site of the country’s largest hydroelectric power station. And now staff at that station can get to work via clean-running boat rather than driving, which the companies estimate will save around 240 tons of emissions per year. It’s a start, and it will help keep the lake clean and quiet.

International interest in these boats is also evident in the participation of Groupe Beneteau, a more than century-old boating company that makes thousands of vessels yearly, in the funding round. Groupe Beneteau CEO Bruno Thivoyon expressed in the press release that investing in Candela makes sense as part of the company’s “ecological transition objectives, scaling up innovative solutions for more sustainable boating.”

Many legacy boating companies are embracing electric engines and next-generation tech; I spoke with the head of another major manufacturer, Brunswick’s Dave Foulkes, at CES about it. He said that the collaborations are fruitful because the small, growing companies need the income and reach, while the larger ones need ready-to-deploy tech. Like any other industry, you have to know when to buy and when to build, and big boating companies are happy to buy — or invest.

Candela’s boats use hydrofoils with electric engines mounted on the bottom to effectively fly above the surface of the water once they get past a certain speed, vastly reducing energy consumption — historically and understandably a sticking point for electric boating. The approach does necessitate a powerful autopilot to keep it balanced, and despite their assurances, I wonder about how they’d handle log collisions, but overall the advantages seem to outweigh the drawbacks.

I drove one over the summer in Seattle (watching closely for logs, rather common in Elliott Bay) and wished they would replace the gas-chugging fast passenger ferries with P-12s. Candela isn’t the only one pursuing this market, either; Navier is also attempting to woo coastal communities with the draw of quiet, energy-efficient transit and is currently shuttling Stripe employees around the Bay Area . And while Zin Boats has been quiet for some time, they are also nailing down markets for the next version of their vessel.

The $25 million round was led, as mentioned, by Beneteau, with participation from EQT Ventures, Ocean Zero LLC, and Kan Dela AB.

3D printing construction company Apis Cor prints 37 m2 house near Moscow, plans global expansion

Feb 13, 2017 | By Benedict

Apis Cor, an additive manufacturing construction company based in San Francisco and the Russian cities of Moscow and Irkutsk, has used its own construction 3D printer to build a 3D printed house in Stupino, near Moscow. Construction of the 37-square-meter building took less than a day.

3D printed house in Stupino, Russia

Russia is home to some of most incredible architecture in the world, from Middle Muscovite gems like Saint Basil's Cathedral in Moscow to the imposing and controversial structures colloquially known as “Stalin’s high-rises.” Excitingly, Russia could soon be home to a whole new style of architecture: 3D printed buildings. Moscow- and Irkutsk-based Apis Cor, an innovative construction company that has developed its own concrete 3D printer, recently built a house in Stupino, near Moscow, and believes it could make many, many more.

What’s perhaps most impressive about Apis Cor and its 3D printing equipment is the sheer speed at which buildings can be erected using the new additive technology. Construction of the majority of the 3D printed Stupino house, an unusually shaped single-floor building measuring 37 square meters, took just a day. And according to the company, this is just the beginning. “We are people,” Apis Cor says. “Engineers, managers, builders, and inventors sharing one common idea—to change the construction industry so that millions of people will have an opportunity to improve their living conditions.”

Building the 3D printed house with the Apis Cor 3D printer

First announced in October 2016, the Stupino 3D printed house project got underway in December. Using the Apis Cor concrete 3D printer, workers were able to erect the main structure of the house in just a day, with the glazing and finishing touches added afterward. The house is now almost complete, and will serve as an exhibition for those interested in Apis Cor and its exciting additive manufacturing technologies.

The Apis Cor 3D printer at the center of this construction revolution is unlike some offerings from competitors. ( CyBe Construction , Cazza Construction , and Millebot are just some of the emerging companies looking to become leaders in 3D printed construction. Each has its own distinctive technology.) The Apis Cor printer uses a telescopic arm that rotates upon a central platform, enabling users to print from within the building. It is also mobile enough to be transported in a truck and then set up in the appropriate location.

The Apis Cor 3D printer

Although the Stupino house measured a relatively cozy 37 square meters, Apis Cor says its  concrete 3D printer is capable of fabricating structures far larger than that: up to 132 square meters, to be precise. The additive manufacturing machine, which measures 4 x 1.6 x 1.5 meters and weighs two tons, is also equipped with a number of useful features, including a horizontal self-leveling tool, allowing the printer to be operated by only two workers.

Although more-or-less a concrete-printing 3D printer, the Apis Cor additive manufacturing system is designed to work with a special printing compound. “For 3D printing the construction printer uses a specially developed mortar mix on cement base with the addition of special additives, including reinforcing ones,” Apis Cor explains. “Regular concrete solutions shouldn’t be used due to the equipment design and technology. In that case we can not guarantee the stated characteristics of printed structures and equipment operation.” At present, the cost of the Apis Cor formula ranges from 6000 to 9000 rubles ($103 to $155) per cubic meter.

The 3D printed Stupino house has a distinctive shape

If the Stupino house was a publicity stunt, it has certainly laid the foundations for global interest in the Russian construction company: Apis Cor has already partnered with a number of major companies around the world, including Korean electronics giant Samsung, Russian insulation and waterproofing specialist TekhnoNIKOL, and PIK Group, the largest real estate and property building company in Russia. A representative for PIK confirmed that it has purchased an Apis Cor 3D printer and plans to test the technology in the near future. The representative also estimated that 3D printed buildings could become commonplace in as little as three to five years.

In an interview with March , a Moscow-based architecture school set up in 2012 (also a partner of Apis Cor), Apis Cor founder Nikita Chen-yun-tai explained what he is trying to do with his company: “With the expansion of 3D printing, people can print any product imaginable at home, at an affordable price, to fit their needs. The same ideas influence our development. We are opening a new opportunity for people: 3D printable building materials that permit building at an affordable price, in the shortest possible time, anywhere, in a way that fits the customer’s needs. The 3D printed building, designed digitally, has become a reality.”

In line with its ambition to transform the global construction industry, Apis Cor now plans to start 3D printing houses in Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America, Australia, and “even in Antarctica if needed.”
