Chinese Company 3D Prints a 2-person Boat

First time accepted submitter Bob768 writes A Chinese company, Sanya Industrial Innovation Design Center, has 3D printed the very first one piece boat. The boat will seat two adults comfortably, and measures 2 meters in length by 0.8 meters wide, and weighs approximately 35 kg. "One interesting fact about the 3D printer used to create this boat, is that it doesn’t require spools of filament, but rather can be fed with raw materials, in the form of pellets or ground up thermoplastics."

    reported on the miniaturization of the Chinese people long ago. The pictured boat is likely measured in centimeters, not meters, long Live Bokonon.

    Much like the subways in Shanghai, this thing will surely be leaking water very soon.

    Unless those guys are a pair of homos, that boat looks decidedly uncomfortable!
