Tanaruz Boats have always been known as sustainable.But do you know why?This post will explain to you how we take advantage of technology to make shipbuilding much more efficient and sustainable.

In this blog,we are giving you insights into 3D printing technology and how it is utilised at Tanaruz Boats to create an innovative and sustainable shipbuilding industry.

3D printing is is gaining its popularity in the recent years.Many associate 3D printing with a breakthrough in technology.Just as computers have developed over the years,3D printers have also been greatly improved compared to when it was first invented in 1980s.As the technology get better and better,the cost and time of production are cut down significantly.

3D printing in the boat industry

3D printing will revolutionise the way that boats are created.3D printing aids great precision without a hefty price.It also plays a role in saving the environment.Do you wanna know how?

With 3D printing,boat manufacturers have a new option for strengthening,shaping,and customising the boats.With this technology,boat builders are able to make complex structures and designs without sacrificing the integrity of the boat.

Tanaruz 3D printing method

We at Tanaruz have used 3D printing to revolutionise shipbuilding by using a mixture of recyclable polymers with 30%of glass reinforcement.Such combination provides sufficient flexibility for 3D printing and a good strength for the boats.

Recuperated from environment

The polymers are leftovers from industrial sites.We collect these polymers and give them a new life instead of opting for new materials.

Most of the time,leftovers are simply thrown away instead of being used.Instead of polluting the environment,the plastic is recuperated,specially treated,and then used for printing.

Recycling and reusing for printing

The recuperated plastic is reprocessed using a process called recycling that enables it to be reused multiple times.When a boat reaches the end of its life span,we shred them and reuse the materials to print newer models.With safety regulations in mind of course.

The polymer is resistant to high and low temperatures,endures UV exposure,and does not change its properties over time.

Maintaining the strength

By repeatedly reuse the Tanaruz boats,the polymer may decrease in strength.To decrease the safety compromise,new polymer will be added to restore the qualities of the polymer produced for the printing of the boats and provide the required level of safety for the people onboard.
