Dubai-based Inoventive 3D has introduced the region’s first fully 3D-printed boat, named Cyberfin, marking a major breakthrough in marine manufacturing. The 10-meter-long vessel, shaped like a shark, showcases the potential of large-format 3D printing technology while promoting sustainable practices.

Made from recycled ocean waste plastic, the boat was completed in just six days and nine hours, highlighting the efficiency of this innovative process. Cyberfin, which measures 2.1 meters wide and 2.7 meters high, can seat up to 10 people and is officially registered with the Dubai Maritime City Authority.

M. Ali, Managing Partner of Inoventive 3D, told Khaleej Times that this development is a milestone for the marine industry. He explained that their cutting-edge technology enables the production of boats much faster than traditional methods, which typically take three to four months. Inoventive 3D can manufacture 6-7 boats per month, potentially turning Dubai into a global hub for 3D-printed marine solutions.

The cost advantage is also significant, with Cyberfin priced at nearly one-third the cost of a conventional speedboat. Alongside affordability, the company’s use of recycled materials reinforces its commitment to sustainability and reducing environmental impact.

This innovation not only underscores Dubai’s leadership in technology-driven industries but also reflects the city’s dedication to sustainability and groundbreaking advancements.
