The 3-D printed coral on Summer Island

Coral fragments that were transplanted to the reef in early 2020 have risen to the size of a football. Coral fragments were transplanted onto an artificial coral that had been assembled. The coral was recently recognized as the world's first 3-D printed reef system, earning it a Guinness World Record. The majority of the pieces were unable to adhere to the current arrangement.

The scale of coral development on the 3-D reef amazed the Summer Island dive team. Reef Design Lab expects to return to Summer Island next year to build a new installation using 3D printing to add to the existing coral fragment array. The business is headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, and specializes in using cutting-edge technologies to build systems that promote the growth of corals and mangroves. Algae must be removed from the coral on a daily basis.
