Laser Cutting a Boat Hull Model with SketchUp

[@finnmeyer3114]

Boat builder here, great work! I’m impressed by how easy you made it look to understand the lines and then exporting those to sketchup and then! Making the machine cut it out. Huge props, now onto the planking!

Good stuff Matt! I've been interested in Laser Cutting for a bit, so it's nice to get a step by step of what the process looks like - great job!

Nicely done, Matt. I like the wall sconce idea. Do you intend to model, cut and build the rest of the sailboat?

Interesting project. LWL means Load Water Line or the water line with a normal load on board the boat.

Thanks for sharing: this is amazing! would you mind sharing your file (.svg or else) to cut your design?

Hi is there a possibility for you to email me the laser folder for that hull you designed.I’ve never built a boat and would like to try and it looks like this one would be fairly easy to build.I’m also pretty now to the laser cutting and still struggling a lot to design cut files for my laser
