Is printed with carbon fiber reinforced ABS. This one comes with integral flotation built in. Tanks can be done likewise, as well as other features such as wire and cable ways.

Tru dat.
But materials can be changed on the fly with equipment like this, so a layer of poly pro or whatever plastic fuel tanks are made from can be laid in. The tooling is not tied down to one material, like a CNC mill can change tools depending on what is to be done.
Additive material tooling takes a different mindset from subtractive toolwork. Amazing stuff.
