Big Area Additive Manufacturing (BAAM) is a large-scale, 3D printing technology developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Manufacturing Demonstration Facility and Cincinnati, Inc. The ability to quickly and cost-effectively manufacture unique moulds and tools is currently one of the most significant applications of BAAM. This work details the application of a BAAM system to fabricate a 10.36 m (34 ft) catamaran boat hull mould. The goal of this project was to explore the feasibility of using BAAM to directly manufacture a mould without the need for thick coatings. The mould was printed in 12 individual sections over a five-day period. After printing, the critical surfaces of the mould were CNC-machined, the sections were assembled, and a final hull was manufactured using the mould. The success of this project illustrates the time and cost savings of BAAM in the fabrication of large moulds.
