AHOY and HAPPY NEW YEAR :)

We know how much time is needed to build a wooden hull of a sailing ship. How much patience and skill are needed. Not all modelers have enough time for their hobbies.

We have a solution for that. Santa Claus brought us a new 4-axis CNC milling machine. Whereby we can make a wooden hull in pieces. There will be enough to glue the pieces of solid wood together and to stick with the veneer. The thickness of the shell of the hull from 2.5 mm (0.1 inch) to ..... YOU WILL SAVE TIME.

NEW YEAR – NEW TECHNOLOGIES - NEW POSSIBILITIES - NEW SOLUTION FOR IMPATIENT MODELERS :-)

Ahoy!
DON - Many working hours of CNC devices. Also the cost of designing of the hull. The price of the hull depends on the size and shape. Each model is priced individually.
It is not a cheap method, but the gluing time of the wooden model is much shorter.
 
Again this is truly amazing technology, and I understand these are most likely preliminary renderings and there will be changes so please bear with me.
As it is now all the pieces seem to just fit together with butt joints(edge to edge) will there be any type of interlocking system to help aid in the construction process? It seems without any tabs, or something to that effect, it may be very difficult to fit all these pieces together and keep a proper alignment of them while gluing and clamping.
Thanks for sharing this with us all.
 
Keep it simple and don't waste your energy on little things. :) Making spikes and hooks will increase the cost of making hull parts. The parts are perfectly bonded with epoxy glue. For temporary fixation, staples are used, which are then removed. After planking the hull , there will be a very strong structure

A very simple idea of @igorcap ,
another possibility would be to prepare some small steps along the connection joints on both hull elements - I guess with cnc it is not a big additional work.
and to fill the gap with a 1mm thick flexibel wooden strip - the modeler can use his normal wood or other glue - it can be easily sanded and planked

Да, вы правы, можно придумать разные способы подключения. Проблема в том, что для обработки больших поверхностей используется большая коническая фреза с радиусом при вершине 3 мм. Это хорошо для плавных переходов, но сделать тонкие канавки такой фрезой сложно. При этом внедрять новый инструмент не захочется, это увеличит стоимость работ.

Yes, you're right, you can think of different connection methods. The problem is that a large conical cutter with a nose radius of 3 mm is used for machining large surfaces. This is good for smooth transitions, but making thin grooves with this cutter is difficult. At the same time, you will not want to introduce a new tool, this will increase the cost of work.
