This week at Club Night, we welcomed Julien Fisher for a fascinating look at his 3D-printed boat project ⛵️

Julien broke down the fundamentals of CAD design and additive manufacturing, showing how these tools move from concept to real-world production. He also explored how 3D printing is already shaping the marine industry, and what its rapid evolution could mean for the future of sailing.

Thank you to Julien and to everyone who joined us for an engaging evening at the clubhouse!
