3D Printed Sailboat

I always tell people that 3D Printing is the wave of the future. Want a fork, spoon, or plate? Just print it out in your home 3D Printer. Or how about a sailboat part? A batten cap, batten, new mast base, cleat, etc. 3D Printers can do so in metal, plastic, etc. Its only a matter of time before whole boats are built by a 3D Printer. Actually...

Here it is the world's largest 3D Printed boat, a 25 foot long and 5000 pound sailboat created by the University of Maine. This is a Guinness World Record on 3 levels: 1. Largest 3D Printed boat, 2. Largest 3D Printed object, and 3. printed by the largest 3D Printer.

The future is here and it's only a matter of time before most of us have these 3D Printers in our homes. It can not happen soon enough.
