CAD and virtual reality used to design and build a hydrofoil surfboard

[John McNamaraParticipant @johnmcnamara74883]

Hi All

Attached is a link to a powered surfboard build.

Trouble is I do not surf! However this set of videos is well worth watching from a CAD and engineering perspective.

He uses Fusion 360

3D Printing and basic machining.

Most of the electronic parts and a rather powerful motor are sourced from Asia. (may come in handy for our projects)

About number 7 he starts to use Virtual reality augmentation for the Cad design process. This must be the way CAD will head now, allowing you to crawl right into the machine.

Oh and he is a first rate designer!

John

Thanks for that, John

I will find an hour or so to watch it tonight.

It looks much more promising than most of what's available on 145 channels of TV
