I will create cnc cutting files, plate development for your aluminum boat


About this gig
Building a metal boat and need parts you can send straight to a CNC shop? I turn your hull design into developed, nested cutting files so your shop can cut accurately and waste less plate.
What's included:
- Plate development of hull plating (unrolled shapes for developable surfaces)
- Nested cut files on standard plate sizes (DXF and DWG)
- Part numbering and alignment marks for easy assembly
- Material list with plate sizes and thicknesses
- Cutting notes for your shop (kerf, tolerances, edge finishing)
Works for: aluminum and steel boats, skiffs, workboats, and small commercial vessels, from your existing hull drawings or lines.
Send your hull lines or drawings, material, and plate thickness before ordering, and I'll confirm scope and turnaround.
Note: These are production files based on the design you provide. I don't verify structural strength or class compliance unless we agree on it separately, so have your scantlings checked by a qualified engineer if the vessel is commercial.
