It's only use is to be a learning model. Its not going to be used as an actual boat. I am curious to learn more about developable hulls and this would be the easiest way to see what kind of shapes are possible. Why would any "real designers" turn down a very basic paying job?

I would only be after a basic planning hull model with developable surfaces so I can review/modify it. So keel sheets, chine sheets, side sheets and transom sheets. What would that cost?

Thanks for the response JS, How much would it cost to buy a model from you?

Thank you for the reference JS, Would you have a simple model you could upload so I can play around with it on DELFTship?

Yes, I have tried that option. Only issue is that the surfaces there are not developable. I was hoping someone could post a model that can be flattened out.

Hi All, Just seeing if anyone has a Defltship model they can share? I am hoping to view and learn from a model that has developable plates so I can model my own hulls in the future. If anyone could upload something that works it would be a great learning resource.

Are there any guides, books or video on how to do it the right way? I am guessing this is the part I am struggling with.

Do you have a video or some screenshots of what you are talking about? I am not familiar with those programs and a visual aide would help.

Are there any good videos you know that show how to do this on rhino?

Is there a specific tool you use in rhino? I'd like to look up some YouTube videos on the subject before considering switching.

Is there a formula or guidelines on how to predict the flex of the plate up the front end?

What is the best program for plate development with aluminium hulls up to 6mm thick. I have modeled some boats in Solidworks using surfaces but they don't come out perfect when I flatten them then get them laser cut. I guess it's because I am "forcing" the sheets to compound curve more than...
