If you break down your search for information into small chunks,you are more likely to succeed.As far as I am aware,spe******ts in CNC machining do not mould boats as they concentrate on their own spe******t activity.If you are looking to buy a large machine it will take a considerable amount of time to build and another length of time to become familiar with.You will have to deal with designers capable of providing surface information rather than just a lines drawing and you will have to learn how to produce toolpaths from the surfaces.
Once you have the shape,you have the task of producing a high quality finish and then moving on to mould making and then laminating your hull or other component.If you search for information on each of these topics in turn you should find a network of suppliers to talk to and you should talk to a lot of them as they will all have opinions.A lot of those opinions will be along the lines that their own product is the only one worth considering.Speak to lots of people about the companies both upstream and downstream of their own operation that they recommend.
