Marine & Heavy Industry 3D printing in Canada

Marine and heavy industry need big composite plugs, molds and replacement parts — slow and costly to source, and corrosion-prone in metal. Large-format and pellet printing produce them at metre scale.

The challenge

Where marine & heavy industry teams lose time & money

Large composite plugs, molds and replacement parts are costly, slow to source and hard to revise, while metal parts in marine environments corrode and fail.

Traditional plug-making is labour-intensive pattern work that can take weeks per part.

How Modix solves it

A platform built for marine & heavy industry

🌊

Metre-scale plugs & molds

Print large composite plugs and molds directly, skipping weeks of manual pattern-making.

🛡️

Corrosion-free parts

Polymer replacement parts shrug off salt water and humidity that destroy metal.

📐

Single-piece scale

Parts up to 2 m (Everest) or 3 m (MAMA XL-3000 pellet) in one piece.

💸

Low material cost

Pellet-fed MAMA systems print from raw granules for dramatically lower material cost at scale.

FAQ

Marine & Heavy Industry 3D printing — questions

Can 3D printing make boat hull plugs and molds?

Yes. Large-format and pellet printers produce composite plugs and molds at metre scale directly from CAD, replacing weeks of manual pattern-making.

Are 3D printed marine parts corrosion-resistant?

Polymer parts do not corrode like metal, making them ideal for replacement parts exposed to salt water and humidity.

What is the largest marine part Modix can print?

Up to 2 m tall on the Everest, and up to 3 m long on the pellet-fed MAMA XL-3000 — with pellet printing keeping material cost low at that scale.
