I already have the prototype working but need to reduce the number of point cloud readings in order to reduce size of the files. Plans are also afoot to add in a low cost 3D scanner to allow for replicating that “favourite” surfboard.

It is also worth noting that this machine can be utilised to carry out other jobs such as cutting of surfboard fins, wooden framed surfboards, Movie prop carving of Polystyrene and a myriad of other tasks that involve large scale 3D CNC carving. Results during R&D to date have proven that it will do the job in the same amount of time (approximately 30 minutes or less from start to finish) as other similar machines while, quite frankly, producing a more accurate result! Price is always an issue which is what has lead me to this point – produce a quality, low cost alternative to the expensive technology that currently has a strangle hold on the market. Research into the market has proven extremely positive with a lot of interest from the smaller industry players.

The machine measures approximately 2.8m long by 1.5m wide and approximately 1.4m high. To refine finishes and cosmetic appearances as well as to certify the prototype and ready it for marketing and production.Ī full working prototype is currently in operation and producing very pleasing results. This project is about manufacturing a quality made, low cost CNC Surfboard Shaping Machine for one third of the price of other similar machines.
