A simple auxiliary equipment for mechanized welding, MINIMEK, was developed. This equipment can also be used for welding steel and is therefore considered pattern protected or patented.2. It has been documented that a transition to the use of aluminum panels instead of conventional use of aluminum profiles and plates provides significant quality and cost efficiency both for hull and in superstructure. Project Aluminum boat will further develop and optimize this construction method to increase the proportion of aluminum panels in the boats and make necessary design changes adapted to the new building material and current functional requirements for utility boats. This is done by: 1. Develop a method, process and equipment for forming aluminum panels adapted for use by small and medium-sized companies so that large parts of the foreship can also be built with aluminum panels. Initial experiments at NTNU carried out by one of the leading shaping professors at NTNU, have resulted in an idea sketch for the development of a shaping process and equipment that is approved by all boat builders. 2. Develop optimized front and stern solutions for aluminum panels that reduce vibrations / noise / fatigue sensitivity in the stern and provide cost-effective bow solutions while providing the boats with good speed and seaworthiness.
