Hello, I started building a boat about a year ago and now I bought a plastic welder. I want to build a 4 meter long boat to sail on rivers. I am a programmer and i know fusion360 pretty well (i use it for 3d printer). But I've run into a problem, as I understand fusion 360 can't unwrap curved...

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...

This boat is hull number 3 - the previous two hulls were 1:10 scale models laser cut TIG welded aluminum: 2020_Tenth The first two were built in a highrise building on the 17th floor and I was limited by space and what size I could fit into the elevator. The basic hull specs for this...

I just converted my CNC to 5 axis, so now it makes it much simpler to mill larger shapes. Anybody have any actual experience gluing multiple milled pieces of a pattern into one complete structure while maintaining a relatively tight tolerance? If so, any advice?

ProtoFabLab, LLC has a 3 axis CNC router with 90"x60"x20" footprint, multiple 3D scanners, and background in composites. The router is capable of accurately and quickly milling EPS foam, wood, and aluminum. Capabilities include fabricating patterns, tooling/molds, aluminum plates, plastics...

Hi, I have a canoe design in my head, for a fully-rounded 3D hull shape, and I want to produce an IGES file I can email to China so they can mill a two-part alu mold that I can use for rotomolding*. This is not a chined design. In the past, I've built some plywood chined designs using panel...

Hi an other free open source software now for the nesting pieces on CNC cutting machines. Automatic line merging Deepnest packs your parts into a compact area to save material and time. It automatically merges common lines so the laser doesn't cut the same path twice. This not only saves...

Has anybody worked through the whole process of hull/bulkhead/stringer design in plywood on to 3D CNC routing of the plywood pieces? If so, what software / process did you use? Any challenges with the CNC mill shops understanding the CAD output?

Ok, So I have a group of friends and we are investigating what would go into starting a shipyard. We have some ideas im not going to go greatly into detail on but I did have a few questions I was hoping to get answered. We are currently putting research into this and doing a market analysis...

Can you vacuum infuse wood? Could you CNC pieces out of lumber that fit the mold perfectly and has flow channels? Hi, I'm new here and I've been dreaming of living on a big ship for a while now. Ideally a large powered cat. But the more I read I realize the enormity and cost of a build. I'm...

Dear all, I want to create a detailed building information model for a 13 - 15 meter catamaran that is capable of being CNC cut and assembled. I need some help finding plans I can use as a basis of design. Specifically, I need the hull profile information. Section cuts through the hull will...

Riveted aluminum 5.5 meter Bay Boat Zoom

The rudder blade of the Bondi 36. The stock was laminated around a CNC machined foam core. The core was geometrically the most complicated part of the boat since it had to follow the shape of the rudder profile with a variable offset along the length of the stock. The stock laminate is thickest...

3d Modeling and Rendering Project we worked with Metal Shark Boats. Chris created an awesome design, we went to work on details and rendering.
