Hi
I must agrea that I do not belive that glasfiber and resin is the only solution. I love to use Epoxies and know that a glasfiber boat offer the top of what boatbuilding achived but I do belive more in other methods and I think that sheet materials is a better alternative even as ready made sheet materials cut after Digital projecting, --- . Still I do belive that a combine of methods, like how you already se bigger glasfiber paneled boats build with wooden frames , but why not take it a step further so the boat only cost a third and is four times as strong, and the builders start using actural digital tools not rewritten old methods. Personaly I find epoxies and polyester to valuable a source and the need for digital manufactoring more important , even in space industrie the best would be metal not epoxy, but anyway if this is about efficiency what\s wrong with pre hardened glasfiber sheets pre. cut to form the framework assembly ready cut panels , and then build up inside that, ---- premade glasfiber sheets already offer one smooth side, why spend the time making an expensive plug to make a form if a new technology offer a much more promising aproach. Why not focus on sheet materials as that cover plastic aswell as metal and steel or plywood. Digital options as we se them today, is rather about making an expensive plug with an expensive 3D router just to support a maby worn out technike ,rather than using and expanding the real digital options. With 3D-Honeycomb my attitude is, that now you have the full freedom forming and a garentie for the strength , but it also is a compleat other world, than just doing what else could be made by hand anyway, realy you don\t use a 3D router for that and it seem that a simple 2D N.C. cutter prove much more efficient forming the pieces for an assembly. Today\s design and architect programs are not about shaping the form and generating the assembly but make a neat account, an account just as 70 years ago , now if we aks new solutions and new jobs it is my belive that this ask a change in perception . We still translate the old methods into computer code and ask a 3D router to router out the plug to make the form so we stay with boatbuilding as how that is today, maby a change in the way to build a boat or a house is what will bring the jobs and the nice boats and houses at a third the cost four times as strong as that ask digital tools. P.C. |

Hi
The CNC is the sideeffect the gain but youdo not need a CNC mashin to cut the framework , it can be cut with quite tradisional tools or mashins. The plans can be plottet on paper in full size and in the simplest way to make the boat, you simply spray glue the full scale plans ontop the sheet material and cut from the lines on the drawings, ---- the pieces will fit together perfect. But the technology I point to is the simplest and cheapest way to establish a real digital production, the N.C. cutter is the cheapest N.C. controlled equipment on the marked, but there are much more to it --- the concept is a compleat change of aproach it make 4 boats at the same time as 1 with the old methods. Ontop there are the thing about materials this method ask only one type of material sheet material. Where other methods ask 20 different profiles knees , hangers, stringers nuts and bolts ----- again with the 3D-Honeycomb you do not bend any piece of the ribs or frames , when cut flat they slide together to form a reliable and in terms of design and projecting very rugid and simple structure ; again you do not bend one single piece and pieces when cut fit perfect together, this is very different from the time comsuming aproach you se in other methods where fiddeling and bending acturly is a big and time comsuming part of it. With this method you get the boat in the drawings. and pieces can be made everywhere are easy to transport before assembling . Now did I point to the fact that in easy terms and in a way everyone can understand, computer design and cheap digital projecting make sense and point to other progress such as how to build a house at a third the cost so strong it will resist an earthquake , but if this issue interest you please check the hundreds of structures to explain the 3D-Honeycomb concept, --- how also in architecture the 3D-H structure offer a new aproach a new way to build and project a building by offering the basic structure in a way that promise the new jobs and the cheap strong new houses. This concept do not deal with rebuilding with dirtbags, barbed wire and mud --- it promise the new technology at a state everyone can understand just by looking at it, it acturly make the computer work where today's design and architect applications mainly is about making a digital account , it is so different from the old methods and still it only build ontop and offer just what you can emagine , but in a way you can call digital. P.C. |
