Basics
- A small watercraft that usually sits one person
- Is propeled by a hand paddle
- Can be made of many materials; The most common are all rigid plastic, but some inflatable ones have emerged which can be deflated to very small sizes (such as an average backpack/tote bag)
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
