You might think aquanauts are from a movie. They are not. They are scientists, researchers, and engineers who live and work on the ocean floor.
DEEP has been working toward making that possible for years, and we have been following their journey since the beginning. They just installed Vanguard, their pilot subsea habitat, 17 meters below the surface at Tennessee Reef in the Florida Keys. It is the first open-ocean subsea habitat deployed in the US in 40 years.
The large metal components were produced using WAAM, wire arc additive manufacturing, run in-house by DEEP to keep costs under control at a scale that conventional casting could not match.
Vanguard is just the beginning.

What is this diver doing?
He is planting the future of a reef.
In the Maldives, reef restoration company rrreefs placed 13 flower-shaped structures on the ocean floor of a lagoon in South Malé Atoll. 3D printed in fired terracotta clay, each structure is designed with tiny cavities between the printed layers, giving coral larvae a place to attach, grow, and shelter from predators.
They called it Theyra Maa. In Dhivehi, it means 13 flowers.
Coral reefs are disappearing. 3D printing is giving them somewhere to come back to.
