We are creating 3D printed coral habitats with our new 3D printer that is able to print a clay material as opposed to a traditional plastic filament. The clay is safe for the ocean and provides a porous surface to help encourage coral growth.One of the things about working with clay is that it has […]
We have been working on the EcoPod roof for the past few weeks and we are now finishing up production on the final section of the inner disk. The video below shows the process that the crew has to do to release each section from the mold. These 1.3cm fiberglass sections have an extremely tight […]
We have been working on the second floating TriPod base for a few months and we are finally nearing the completion of it. Our first TriPod base has been in the water for some time now so we are excited to get the second one finished.You can see in the video below that all of […]
The SeaPod will have a large set of sliding doors that will open up what is basically a wall of glass between the kitchen and the patio area to turn the kitchen/dining area into an open-air room. We wanted to find a way to implement this to truly open up the space and let you […]
We are back at the factory for a quick update from Grant about the progress of the EcoPod roof. This will be a functional roof in a few different ways so we are really excited about it. The team has been making quick progress and it is starting to take shape.The roof is going to […]
When the SeaPod was originally designed, one of the things that Grant really pushed for was to have huge windows. One of the best things about living on the sea is having beautiful views, so without big windows to enjoy the views, what’s the point?It’s easy to say “Let’s have huge windows” and it is […]
The frame of the EcoPod is really coming along now. We have the top portions of the walls installed and now we can really see where the windows will be. This top wall section will be where the roof eventually will be mounted. The installation of the bottom section of the walls was successful so […]
Here at Ocean Builders we are always experimenting, testing, reiterating, and trying to do things better than before and find new ways to improve. We always know what we would like the outcome to be, so it is important to constantly do testing and experimenting to see if we are getting closer or further away […]
The time has come for the floor to be installed in the first SeaPod prototype. As with many aspects of the journey that we have gone on to bring these homes to life, it wasn’t easy and it took some time, thinking, and muscle to make it happen.You can see in the video below that […]
Here we have a quick update on the Pod Admin Panel which is what the administrators will use to manage the computer and monitoring systems of each pod. This update shows a few things that we have been working on.The first part we have been polishing is the notification system. This will allow the admin […]
One of the big ambitions that we have is the 3D printed coral project that we are working on. Our goal is to be eco-restorative as much as possible and since coral reefs are sort of like the Amazon of the sea, we knew it was going to be important to us to do our […]
We are building our own delivery drone from the ground up so that means that we have to test everything as we go, there are no previous tests or a track record since we are custom building this drone.Since the SeaPods will be at sea, where there are usually steady or gusty winds, this drone […]

Connor took us along on a beach cleanup that he recently went on with some of our partners, Reef2Reef and PanaSea. They took a boat to a small island here in Panama and spent the day cleaning up trash that has washed ashore over the years.You can see in the video below that the amount […]
We have some big moves happening here at the factory. The shell of the SeaPod prototype is assembled and reinforced and is now ready to be moved outside. We are moving it outside so that we can take the prototype of the EcoPod from our “front yard” to the inside of the factory where it […]

Preparing Clay for First Coral Print
Connor Firmender Technology
We are moving closer to getting our 3D printed coral habitat project rolling. The 3D printer that we are going to be using is able to print with a clay material instead of traditional plastic filament so we can be sure not to harm the water by putting more plastic in the oceans.The clay needs […]
