5-Axis Milling for Plugs, Molds, and Tooling Now that designers are adopting computer methods for modeling and fairing 3-dimensional hull surfaces, it seems reasonable to use the computer surface model to mill full-size male or female plugs, or even produce complete tooling by CNC machine. The promise is better accuracy, less cost, and faster turn-around time. This article discusses some of the things you need to know about the process before you jump in with both feet. Although the focus is on using outside services, the information will still be useful for those considering whether to buy their own equipment. Stephen M.
