大面积添加剂制造(BAAM)是由橡树岭国家实验室的制造示范设施和辛辛那提公司开发的大规模3D打印技术。快速、经济高效地制造独特的模具和工具的能力是目前BAAM最重要的应用之一。这项工作详细介绍了BAAM系统在制造10.36米(34英尺)双体船体模型中的应用。该项目的目标是探索使用BAAM直接制造模具的可行性，而不需要厚的涂层。在五天的时间里，模具被打印成12个单独的部分。印刷完成后，对模具的关键表面进行了数控加工，装配了型材，并使用该模具制造了最终的船体。该项目的成功证明了BAAM在制造大型模具方面节省了时间和成本。
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.
