A 3D printed ferry could be part of the 2024 Summer Olympics
Holland Shipyards Group, Sequana Développement and Roboat are among three successful projects that rely on additive manufacturing to design their autonomous boat. Perhaps the name "Roboat" rings a bell: it's an initiative led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) team to develop autonomous boats that started in Amsterdam. In the case of the 2024 Olympics, it will be a 9-meter-long and 3.9-meter-wide structure with electric propulsion and an automatic docking system. We are particularly interested in the hull of this future river shuttle, made by 3D printing from recycled materials. The style of manufacture of the case is unknown, although it is plausible that either an extrusion machine or even a robotic arm was used. It remains to be seen whether these autonomous ferries will be ready for the Olympics and how many will be located in the capital to facilitate transportation.
