Yes, Shape3d can export (or print in the Pan mode) the developed surface of the board and of the constant depth layers.

Oui il faut une license Design Pro

Yes we will.

The 3D Export option (www.shape3d.com/Products/ExportOption.aspx) allows exporting the designs in the STL (meshes), DXF or IGES (nurbs surfaces) formats.

@@shape3d362 Great! Thank you! exactly what is needed!

There must be some options set wrong. You can send me your file at thomas@shape3d.com if you want me to check.

What do you mean by bump wing?

@@shape3d362 The best example of a surfboard with a bump wing would be Tom Curren’s Red beauty. Where wing is a lot more mellow and not as noticeable or pronounced as as a regular wing. Anyways thank you for the upload 👍🤙 my apologies on having to give you more work.

OK I see. That will work just the same @@Andrew-dm8mk

@@shape3d362 yes of corse it’s just a question of aesthetics more than anything. But yes the function is exactly the same.

Sure you can. Send me an email to contact@shape3d.com if you have any doubt.

I would say that what matters more is to take the picture from as far as possible to limit the distortions. I usually use the bottom picture just to get the plugs position.

Yes, sorry.

The term Mapping may be poorly chosen. Originally the 3D layers were always placed on the original shape: the ends of the slices of the layers are glued to the slices of the board. So we used the term mapping. But with the Free layers we can now choose how we fix the ends of the slices of the layers in Y and Z: either stuck to the original slice, or fixed to a curve, or Free. Y mapping = Otl Int curve or Otl Ext curve -> We use a curve to set the size of the slices Z mapping = Side Int curve or Side Ext curve -> We use a curve to set the height of the edges of the slices.

Is the Rail point defined on the slices? Please send me your file at thomas@shape3d.com if still doesn't work.

@@shape3d362 Hi Thomas, Yes the rail point is defined on the slices. I also tried on the standard surfboard file. Same issue with the kink when extending the layers to zero on the tail. I will send you my file. Thanks for your help.

Check what the Pro shapers do, like Rusty: rustysurfboards.com/pages/board-builder?419-fish

Sim, em breve terá mais!

If you just purchased a license you need to activate it in the License menu of Shape3d. And if you had SHape3d Lite installed before, make sure you uninstall it and install the full version instead (download at www.shape3d.com/Update/UpdatesHistory.aspx) before you activate your license in the menu Licence / License manager.

No it doesn't, this is an approximation indeed. You can also use the option "Add/Remove thickness" in the menu Components -> Action, which does reduce the length. This option only works well on simple shapes though, on complicated shapes with 3D layers you can get some distortions you'll need to correct. Note that most CAM softwares have the option to remove a fixed thickness, and if not you can always remove the sandwich thickness setting a smaller tool diameter...

@@shape3d362 Thank you for your feedback. You mention, that this in approximation. Which I understand because of the nature of the problem of parallel curves or surfaces. But does your approximation apply on the real 3d shape so on the surface normal or on the slice curve normal. What I want to say is that in the tail and nose the actual thickness reduction in the slice view will be different, i.e. considerably more, because of the angles of the slice to the direction of the surface normal, and does your approximation account for it?

@@schobihh2703 Not when you use 3D layers.

You need the Pro option to use the 3D layers: www.shape3d.com/Products/DesignPro.aspx

Did you login at www.shape3d.com/Update/UpdatesHistory.aspx to download the installer? Please try again now and send me an email to thomas@shape3d.com if it still doesn't work.

@@shape3d362 tks, isend a email for you .

You need the Pro option to use the 3D layers: www.shape3d.com/Products/DesignPro.aspx

Hi Miguel, You have a Design license without the Pro option, so you can edit the Deck 1 curve like in this video. But you can design the slices with a flat deck without problem. I recommend you watch the other more basic videos and read the manual. There are also other video tutorials like this one for example th-cam.com/video/dFSo8zaTRds/w-d-xo.html

Never tried but I doubt it's good enough.

@@shape3d362 ok. And what about the compatibility? How can I know ? Thanks for the answer.

@@zelomarques6929 If you can get a clean scan then you'll be able to use it in Shape3d, yes. If you do please send it to me by email and I'll test it!

@@shape3d362 is possible ?

qual aplicativo usou ?do iPhone mesmo ou baixou um ?

Here it is: www.shape3d.com/Warehouse/Board.aspx?Board=7229

@@shape3d362 It says the file is protected... I cant make any changes

@@lukmo7999 it must be because you don't have the Pro option, right? You can open it without the 3D layers then.

Hi Chris, I won't copy the Twinsman as it is a trademark model. But you can try using the same methode as in this video! It won't be harder.

@@shape3d362 I’ll do my best. The rails on it are kind of flat on the top so I will need to understand the the software a bit better before I attempt it. Thanks for your help. Thoughts on scanning with iphone lidar? Cheers.

@@chrismorton1725 check this file with a flat deck: www.shape3d.com/Warehouse/Board.aspx?Board=2694 then add small wings and a fish tail and you're good!

I doubt the lidar on iphone gives clean enough results on a surfboard. I don't have an iphone, but if you have one you can try and send me the result. I'll check if it's clean enough to be imported into Shape3d.

@@shape3d362 thanks so much for all your help and suggestions! I’m based in Sydney Australia and have found a few places nearby that will cnc listed on your website. Incredibly helpful. 🙏🏻

Absolutely

OK, I'll do that for the next videos!

Hi Jorg, there're infinit ways of designing nurbs surfaces. The importation only works if the structure is similar to the way we design boards in Shape3d: with parallel cross sections... and avoid trimmed surfaces. But the importation can be perfect then! There are distortions here because of the vertical rail; I just wanted to show how to correct them in case it happens. You can send me your iges files by email if you have any problem with the importation into Shape3d.

Both work! A picture of the bottom just gives you the fin placement in addition to the outline.

@@shape3d362 Copying the shortboards outline I figured out that sometimes the nose is narrower on the top deck picture compared to the bottom picture

@@diegogorrieri Yes, that's a perspective problem. To avoid that you need to take the picture from as far as possible.

You can create or import guidelines for the outline curves of each side. You can't use the guidelines wizard though.
