Keel for catamaran Bali 4.3

Shape

Problem

The boat is without a keel lost during navigation, an accidental loss often due to collisions with the seabed or other issues.

The piece, of large dimensions, is a single piece that with traditional methods would require several processing stages (digital model, physical model, mold, lamination), therefore expensive and not scalable.

Need

Precision, accuracy, durability. Easy to laminate, good adhesion with other materials, perfect execution of shapes to mount it on the existing structure of the boat. Competitive in terms of production cost compared to traditional technologies. Easy to transport.

Solution

Surveying of the existing keel and redesigning of the keel to obtain the digital model.

Optimization and printing of the keel core using the Nugae patent for the creation of structurally reinforced panels through the localized addition of an isogrid system.

Benefits

Direct lamination onto the 3D printed structure.

On-board assembly.

Achievement in rapid time.

Increased rigidity and strength.

Enhanced piece maneuverability, thanks to significant weight reduction.

Simplified production process.

Minimization of processing waste and reduced environmental impact.
