Abstract: A bow foil stabilizer system is provided where the foil is configured to be mounted relatively close to the vessel hull, preferably less than three times a maximum thickness below the keel of the vessel in the area the foil is mounted to, more preferably the foil is mounted in a recess of the vessel, which recess is in the keel of the vessel. In certain embodiments, a lowest point of the foil is approximately level with the extended keel line and a control flap of the foil is configured to rotate at least partially into a recess of the vessel in the keel area. In further aspects, the foil is mounted with a chord thereof at an angle relative to the running trim of the vessel.

Abstract: An exchangeable forming component is configured for removable mounting relative to an interface block of a modular forming tool, with the interface block of the modular forming tool configured for removable mounting relative to a support structure to form a sheet metal component. The exchangeable forming component includes a component structure which is constructed using additive manufacturing, wherein the exchangeable forming component presents a first surface which provides an exchangeable forming surface shaped to form the sheet metal component, and a second surface configured to removably engage the support structure.
