Default RE: Laser Cutting and Molds

A search would have done you some good, here's some stuff on making a plug, mold and finished product..
[link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_7292440/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm]Making the Dreamin* CS[/link]
[link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_7912646/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm]More on the CS[/link]
There is other stuff available both on here and RCGroups. RCGroups "Composites Fabrication" forum is an excellent resource.
Laser cutting, you will need to find someone in your area that has a cutter and have plans that are in dxf format or be able to convert plans to dxf.
Building a wood boat can be cheaper than buying a ready made hull but if you are going to pay someone to laser cut then I would suggest the [link=http://zippkits.com/]Zipp Kits[/link] as a very price conscious alternative.
