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.
