without much success I have been trying to look in to some sort of scanner to use in conjunction with my cnc. What I would like to do is be able to scan existing surfboards that I have hand shaped and be able to replicate them the cnc and to make changes along the way.

I have used my machine with a disto attached and manualy moved the axis and taken mesurements at points but it is a very slow process

There are companies that already have this technology but I can find out many details and the threads that I have read seam to die before they get to a conclusion.

I think things like david scan will be out the question as some of the boards are up to 16' long and I don't have the space required to set up david.


There is a example in this video of what I would like to do im just not sure how complicated it would be ??

does any one have any experience of this?

many thanks
