Dubai-based Inoventive 3D has unveiled the region’s first fully 3D-printed boat, signalling a revolutionary shift in marine manufacturing.
The 10m-long vessel, dubbed Cyberfin, combines cutting-edge large-format 3D-printing technology with sustainable practices, offering a glimpse into the future of boat production.
The shark-inspired Cyberfin, constructed using recycled ocean waste plastic, was completed in just six days and nine hours, demonstrating the speed and efficiency of this ground-breaking technology.

Measuring 10m in length, 2.1m in width, and 2.7m in height, the boat has a seating capacity for 10 people and is fully registered with the Dubai Maritime City Authority (DMCA).
M. Ali, Managing Partner of Inoventive 3D, said: “This marks a significant milestone not just for Inoventive 3D, but for the entire marine industry.
“Our large-format 3D printing capabilities allow us to produce boats in a fraction of the time required by traditional manufacturing methods. With this innovation, we can manufacture six or seven boats per month, transforming Dubai into a hub for 3D-printed marine solutions.”
Traditional boat manufacturing takes three to four months, but Inoventive 3D’s technology can produce vessels in just weeks—dramatically reducing production timelines.
Additionally, the cost of a 3D-printed boat like Cyberfin is approximately one-third of a conventional speedboat, making it a game-changer for cost-conscious buyers.
The company’s focus on sustainability is central to its vision. By using recycled materials, Inoventive 3D aims to minimise environmental impact while setting a new benchmark in innovative marine design.
This announcement underscores Dubai’s leadership in pioneering technology-driven industries and reflects the city’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and innovation.
