Mother Cargo

The ship that carries our work across the Universe. Fourteen kilometres of hull printed as a single piece, with a current that runs its whole length.

Details

Before the Mother Cargo, every Aikah object travelled on someone else's ship. Aidam drew the first line of it himself: a single hull, as long as it needed to be, with nothing inside but space and current.

It was printed over eleven years and has never been docked for repair. The current running along its keel is visible from the outside, a storm that never leaves the ship. It flies without a crew, carries every commission we have ever delivered, and earned us the Intergalactic Prize.

Highlights

01

One hull

Fourteen kilometres printed as one piece. No plates, no rivets, no weak points.

02

A storm in the keel

The current along the keel powers the ship and shields its hold. It has never gone out.

03

No crew needed

The ship finds its own route and knows every client by name. We only tell it where to go.

I wanted a ship that would outlive all of us. So far, it is keeping its promise.
