Hard top

Project: Oceanis 43

Mold

A rigid roof for an Oceanis 43 preparing for ocean sailing: 3D printed as modules with a built-in isogrid structure and assembly features, then resin-coated on board. Four metres long, 55 kg, 40 hours of printing and no mould or pattern.

Problem

Boat needs a rigid roof for a ocean-sailing project. Traditional methods required molds and models, making the process costly, time-consuming, and inefficient for custom, lightweight parts.

Need

A lightweight, robust structure, easy to handle and mount, with excellent precision and compatibility with existing boat designs.

Solution

Nugae used its 3D robotic printing system to directly print a modular hard top, integrating assembly features and an isogrid structure for added strength. This eliminated molds and accelerated production.

Benefits

Faster production, lower costs, easy resin and coating application on existing shapes, and economic sustainability through reduced material waste.
