Latest Huntsman SMP Used for Development Model on New Sailing Boat
El-Bo Produktion in Denmark first to use RenPaste® 4666 on marine scale model
El-Bo Produktion is Denmark’s leading composite mould, industrial model and sandwich panel manufacturers with particular expertise in the marine, wind energy and automotive industries.
For many years, El-Bo Produktion has worked closely with Huntsman Advanced Materials on seamless modelling pastes suitable for a range of applications, including the very particular demands of the marine modelling industry.
This has resulted in a range of cost-effective epoxy SMPs, including those suitable for fast extrusion via CNC machines for the rapid production of large models and plugs – up to 36m in length, as well as a high temperature SMP with a heat deflection capacity of up to 200oC for high temperature resistant tools.
Now, the most recent addition to the RenPaste® SMP range, RenPaste® 4666 has been used by
El-Bo Produktion for the concept scale model of a new 12m (40ft) sailing boat.
El-Bo Produktion worked from CAD data and used their computer controlled CNC cutting facility to produce a 1:12 scale model of the boat’s substructure from a block of lightweight expanded polyurethane foam.
