built a 6 cavity mold to produce a run of several hundred prototypes for the commissioning company, Toobs Bodyboards. The fin has a complex planform, NACA low drag foil section...

did an improved design and cut a prototype mold from epoxy laminated masonite and hardrock maple. This mold was designed to duplicate the geometry and mode of action... of a contemplated production tool, so that we could analyze and refine the design to accommodate the production process. We then molded 5 pairs of prototype fins using a benchtop polyurethane... casting elastomer. These prototype fins were extensively tested by the customer "in the surf". The resulting feedback allowed us to do a final re-design, and we then machined 4 large...
