A structural deck seat for a 43-foot catamaran, 3D printed in CoreLight3D® recycled core and ready for lamination: 150 × 150 cm, 37 kg, 42 hours of printing and no mould, developed with Politecnico di Milano and presented at JEC World 2026.
Deck seats and structural furniture are traditionally built with dedicated moulds, hand lay-up and many hours of labour: on a one-off catamaran they never pay off, and they add weight on board.
A lightweight structural element, ready to integrate with the boat's composite laminates, with a high recycled content and no expensive post-processing.
Robotic 3D printing with the UL-LFAM system in CoreLight3D®, Nugæ's ultra-light recycled-polypropylene core, from the digital model developed within the NEMO – Design 4 Yacht Flexible Customization project with Politecnico di Milano. Integrated internal geometries for stiffness and a surface ready for resins and laminates. Size: 150 × 150 cm, 100 cm high, 3 mm walls.
Just 37 kg for a large structural element, 42 print hours, 70% recycled material, no mould: a part that comes out of the printer ready to use. Presented at JEC World 2026 in Paris (Hall 5 – E148) as part of a 43-foot catamaran under construction.
