In the world of yacht engineering, stabilizer fins play a crucial role in ensuring stability and performance on the water. However, despite each yacht having unique dimensions and requirements, traditional manufacturing of stabilizer fins often relies on standardized tooling that doesn’t fully adapt to each vessel. This lack of customization can have a tremendous impact on many specifications, constraining yacht builders to considerable adjustments to ensure compatibility with their tools, adding complexity, time, and cost to the production process—forcing them to compromise significantly each yacht's distinct specifications, which is absolutely opposite to their motto.
SONIC revolutionizes this approach by enabling high-performance production, allowing stabilizer fins to be custom-made for each yacht’s precise needs while eliminating the expense of molds, and enabling all benefits of AM. SONIC opens the door to fully customized stabilizer fins that are manufactured directly from digital designs, achieving a perfect fit for each vessel without requiring compromises or additional adjustments. This approach not only supports mass customization but also reduces lead times significantly, offering yacht builders a quicker path from design to implementation.
Thanks to SONIC, Yacht builders can produce their parts with a performance-centric approach, by incorporating in each stabilizer, intelligent lattice structures that reinforce the fin precisely where needed, optimizing strength without excess material. The result is a stabilizer fin that enhances the vessel’s performance, delivering durability and reliability while minimizing weight—ideal for the rigorous conditions of high-end yachting.
A marine-grade polycarbonate reinforced with glass fibers was used, offering a high-performance and durable part. This selective material not only lightens the component, which can improve fuel efficiency, but also ensures the fin is robust enough to withstand the demands of harsh marine environments.
This Stabilizer Fin highlights how Additive Manufacturing with the SONIC can innovate Yacht Manufacturing processes by bringing unprecedented design flexibility and functionality to yacht builders. By facilitating custom dimensions and integrated structural optimization, SONIC allows yacht builders to prioritize performance over production cost, delivering parts precisely tailored to each yacht’s unique specifications.
