Hi everyone,
My name is Osher Frank. I am a licensed architect and 3D designer with around 16 years of experience in architecture, Rhino 3D, visualization, and real-time environments. I am now looking to apply my skills to boat and yacht-related projects, especially where strong 3D modeling...
Dear All,
Does anyone known any existing 3D model or existing plans of the Vintage Fleet Line SEA WOLF Battery Powered Boat. It's a toy Boat (speedboat) made in the 50's. It may be inspired by some Chris craft models but with much simpler shapes.
You will find enclosed a photo.
I also add a pic...
I am designing some hulls in freeship and would like to print #D models on my 3d Printer. I have exported the .STL files and can view them but I cannot slice them as is. I have tied to import .STL and .DFX files into FreeCAD and OpenSCAD to flesh them out so I can slice them in Cura.
Has anyone...
In connection with my previous question "catamaran float", I'd like to know what type of software can be used to model my project.
If I find a model or plans to make a model, I imagine I can then send all the information to a machine. Whether it's for 3D printing or for cutting out...
After many attempt now I figure out how make a nice propeller with air foil section on the blades, and is very simple now for me the making of any kind of propeller shape.
This is a simple 4 blades propeller to print into 3D
Hi all,
I made 8 molds in the past all using wood as this was the only one that knew how to work with but is a very slow process.
I now have a new design (for a 17.5 foot kayak) which has been converted to a 3D.
My idea is to use a CNC to print it in foam and then make the mold from it.
As I...
Hi,
I am thinking about the steel construction of the following shape. But I am confused about the structural construction of this. How to stiffen this shape? I just would like to get some idea. I have seen many yachts have curved shape like this. But I was thinking where two plates are...
This is a shell of a Rib tender, the boat is already developed with 2D CAD. Even that is part of my learning path with FreeCAD. An open source CAD for all purposes.

Hello,
I did a POC to automatically generate hull shapes with freecad using Gene-Hull data.
This is the alpha version (only one type of keel and rudder).
The design is fully parametric (with Spreadsheet Workbench) and can generate all hull types calculated by Gene-Hull.
Here are 3 examples...
Hi, it's been a few days since I figured out how to use gCAD3D, an opensource CAD that allows you to create NUBRS surfaces by drawing or with the manual editor, I did some tests and I think it can be an alternative to create simple hulls, because it allows you to have an excellent precision in...
Hi, I've tried FreeCAD these days to create surfaces for hulls, and I have to admit that it has great features.
For now I have created some surfaces starting from models in OBJ format, used for the generation of spline curves from the points generated by the mesh model that I created with...
Hi everybody,
My name is Lucas, I am a trained ship mechanic from Germany.
I was working on harbour and offshore tugs and research vessels.
At the moment my approach to ships is more on a hobby base.
I want to build some ship models from existing plans/ files to 3d-print them later on.
In the...
