A hull, even a small one, starts from a plug and a mould. On a prototype or a one-off that work never pays for itself, and meanwhile the design stays in the drawer.
To test in the water, and not only on screen, the new NU-Slice plugin that generates the internal structure of a part on its own, and to find out how long it really takes to go from a drawing to a printable object.
The hull was printed as a single piece in CoreLight3D® with the UL-LFAM system. The new plugin for NU-Slice, the NUGAE slicing software, generated the internal ribs and the robot toolpaths from a hull design Francesco Belvisi had drawn several years earlier: five minutes of preparation, about 30 hours of printing, no mould.
28 kg for a three metre hull
No mould and no plug to build
From drawing to printable file in five minutes
A part two people can lift and put straight into the water
