Laminating, hot coat, setting fins fun.Guess it's just me, but I'd far rather design/shape a board then glass the fucker
Laser scanners bruhHow are they getting the rockers/outlines for all these shapes?
Are they paying the shapers for the files?

If they do it just like their instructional video, you can put an image of a board from the internet and just match the outlines and rockers. Now if I could only get @oeste858 to reply back to my DM so I can get this one goingHow are they getting the rockers/outlines for all these shapes?

Yes.Interesting.
I think I'd take issue with this if I was a shaper and my boards were being copied this way.
Obviously backyarders copy measurements of their favorite boards and attempt to replicate shapes. I'm fine with that but this is different.
This is someone selling you a blank with a copied rocker and outline and the originator of said rocker/outline gets nothing.
Am I off base?
Yes but for another professional to advertise that they will copy for you at a price is sketchy at best. If I was the other pro I would be not be happy with them.The person who buys that Greenlight blank will come nowhere near replicating the board. They won't replicate the shape and they likely won't glass it so it has the same flex characteristics as say a Lost or whoever they hope to copy. Just too many variables.
IMHO Its a very niche market, only a handful of people have the tools, skills ,or desire to build their own boards. I would hope that if Greenlight got an order for 20 RNF or Ghost or any other boards model they would say no.Agree with GD lots of variables (too many to list) that its not a straight knock off. Shape3d has the same functionality in the pay version, keep in mind the distortion that I assume comes from using this feature. I think it's probably more accurate to just make detailed measurement. I even measure rail apex, tuck depth, where the hard edge starts, bottom contour(and where) fin position cant, toe etc.Am I off base?
I was born to sand- boat builder, furniture maker, surfboards....it's what Italians call a "lavoro certosino."Laminating, hot coat, setting fins fun.
Sanding less fun
