Why this company matters

ErectorCraft focuses on commercial production of large-scale 3D-printed boat hulls using large-format additive manufacturing (LFAM). Founded in 2021, the company positions itself as the first U.S. firm to apply LFAM specifically to boat hull production, targeting the marine manufacturing and boatbuilding industries. Its approach integrates additive manufacturing with conventional boatbuilding techniques to improve production efficiency and design flexibility.

The company's core technology is the proprietary ErectorBot LFAM system, which uses polymer material extrusion (MEX) to print hulls from high-density polyethylene (HDPE). This enables rapid prototyping and customization that traditional mold-based boatbuilding cannot easily match. ErectorCraft sells both finished 3D-printed boat hulls and the ErectorBot LFAM HDPE systems themselves, offering a dual product line for marine manufacturers.

ErectorCraft competes against traditional boatbuilding companies and emerging marine 3D printing firms. Its differentiation lies in being a pioneer in applying LFAM to hull production, combined with a leadership team that brings deep maritime experience. CEO Matt O'Sullivan has held roles as an engineering officer on ships, an ABS class surveyor, and a technical representative for USCG and USN vessels. The company has raised $10 million from investors including Sequoia and an angel investor, and partners with ErectorBot, Inc. for its LFAM technology.
