Basics
- A small watercraft that usually sits one person

Used For
- Recreation
- Fishing
- Transportation
- Competetive Sports
Industry Standards
Existing Open Source Designs
- CNC Kayaks (They Make CNC Plans for Wooden Ones)
- This 3D Printed One (in many sections) by grass roots engineering
Basic Design
Sit On Top (SOT)
One Piece 3D Printed Plastic
- Essentially use a large D3D Printer to print an entire kayak in one piece
- Use Durable filaments such as a composite nylon blend, polycarbonate, or a composite polycarbonate blend
Multi Piece 3D Printed Plastic
- Similar to the one piece except it is broken into shorter segments which can be broken apart for storage then reattached for use
