Naples investor puts $1.05 million into 3D-printed seawall manufacturer

Naples-based Tamiami Angel Funds has invested $1.05 million in a Miami environmental technology company that’s designing and building 3D printed seawalls.

That’s right, printed seawalls.

The company, Kind Designs, uses 3D-printing technology to build seawalls that mimic coral reefs and mangroves. These manufactured seawalls are “reinforced with recycled ocean plastic fibers and contain embedded water-quality sensors to create a global network of water data,” Angel Fund says in a statement.
