Royal Navy Imagines the Future of 3D Printed Biomimicry On-demand Submarines Industrial Additive Manufacturing
The recent ORNL 3D printed submarine showed that large scale composite 3D printing is ready to be implemented in the production of marine and submarine vehicles. The Royal Navy has started to look even further by unveiling a series of futuristic submarine concepts which mimic real marine life forms and radically change the way underwater warfare could look in 50 years, through the intensive adoption of 3D printing processes and materials.
