The 3D-printed superyacht Pegasus, featuring mirrored glass and 3D-printed components, aims to become "invisible" on the water.
Developed by Jozeph Forakis on the island of Koufonisia, Greece, the yacht is conceived as a tribute to nature and strives for true emissions-free operation.
Utilizing robotic 3D printing enables a strong and lightweight structure, built with fewer resources and time compared to traditional yachts.
Revolutionary 3D Printing Technology: Jozeph Forakis Unveils Futuristic Superyacht "Pegasus".
Groundbreaking designs have been unveiled for the world's first 3D-printed superyacht that can turn itself "invisible" on the water. The visionary concept by Jozeph Forakis, named Pegasus, features a multi-tiered "wings" structure with mirrored glass reflecting the sky, clouds, and surroundings.
The futuristic yacht was conceived on a beach island in Koufonisia, Greece. "I was inspired to create a yacht as close to the sea and nature as possible, made of clouds floating above the waterline," said Forakis. "I wanted to honor nature by blending into it and becoming virtually invisible."
This desire for "invisibility" drove Forakis to develop a true emissions-free yacht that is "invisible" both in design and in its environmental impact.
With his characteristic thorough research, Forakis and his team composed a symphony of selected advanced technologies (existing and currently in development) to achieve unprecedented levels of sustainability, range, and structural integrity.
The construction of the 88-meter superyacht uses robotic 3D printing to create a framework integrating both hull and superstructure. The result is an extraordinarily strong and lightweight structure that can be produced using less energy, material, waste, space, and time compared to conventional construction.
