Problem
Shipyards and luxury yacht builders often require large-scale, custom marine components that are difficult and costly to produce with traditional manufacturing methods. Conventional production processes limit design flexibility, extend lead times, and make it challenging to create complex geometries needed for modern nautical applications.
Solution
V2 Group delivers large-format additive manufacturing and 3D printing services specifically engineered for the marine industry. The company operates the HERON AM 400, a large-format 3D printer equipped with a six-axis robotic arm and robotic extrusion head, enabling continuous feeding of polymers and composites to produce medium-to-large parts with complex geometries. V2 Group provides end-to-end support through engineering, design, and bespoke manufacturing, covering everything from prototype development to production-grade components. The company also partners with industry leaders through its V2 Printworks division, while its V2 Boats division combines expert craftsmanship with this technology for recreational vessels.
