Hello Everyone,

I am new to this forum so thought it would be a good idea to introduce myself. I am an aerospace engineering student in the final phase of my study at the TU Delft (Netherlands). For severals years i have been making cnc machines. I also have a webshop http://www.damencnc.com. Anyway most of my week is filled with cnc projects so can help out with advice. I am doing my internship at the moment. I am making a surfboard shaping machine 3 x 1 x0,38 meters range.

Greetings, Kevin Damen

Hi Kevin,

New to the blog and saw your intro and have the same interest in terms of shaping boards. Looking to machine out of styrofoam a kitesurf board dimensions 136cms x 45cms x 5cms. Have designed the board on BoardCAD (cool software www.boardcad.org); you should check it out. Its an open software and can export files to a number of formats. Does outlines, rocker, concaves, vees, double concaves, etc.

I am looking to shape the board and make the project a reasonable price but most companies would charge for the machining the price of a finished board (Euro300). Which does not make sense. Still excited about being able to ride my own design. Would you be interested in shaping this board? I would obviously cover cost of materials.

Cheers,

Martin
