Nautical or Ship Cleat 2 3D print model

cgtrader

Nautical bollard designed specifically for ship and boat owners, perfect for warfs, docks, quays, and marine applications where water security is a priority. Engineered to withstand watertight conditions, suitable for 3D printing with ease, while also easily adaptable for use in computer-generated imagery or CGI without significant alterations. A full-scale model allows users to adjust the dimensions as needed before making it tangible through additive manufacturing techniques. This classic anvil-shaped cleat features two outward protruding arms running parallel to the ship's hull or spar axis, secured to a sturdy platform or rod, ensuring a firm grasp on mooring lines. Tradition suggests initially routing lines from the vessel towards the outer horn cleat rather than closer to it. Serving both practical and ornamental purposes, these maritime cleats have long been used for securing boats to docks, wharves, and marinas, while smaller-scale versions are also employed on sailboats to tidy up lines and other cordage.
