Will boats be a breakthrough for 3D printing tech?

After two years of experimentation, the material was finally right: a particular mix of thermoplastics and fibreglass that is strong, has no need of extra coating to protect it from sunlight, and is resistant to fouling and marine growth. The perfect base, says Mr Logtenberg, from which to 3D print a boat. Boats need to withstand the unforgiving nature of the marine environment.

A Titanium Frying Pan with a 100-Year Warranty? This Company Actually Built It. - Yanko Design

We love it for its incredible strength-to-weight ratio, its resistance to corrosion, and its understated, industrial aesthetic. So, when a company like Titaner, known for its EDC gear, decides to forge a titanium cooking skillet in 2022, it grabbed my attention. Now, 3 full years later, they've unveiled something arguably even better. Titaner's 'Skillet 2.0' features design improvements but also a unique material science approach with a new 5-layer construction for even better performance.
