Yacht deck mould — CNC plug and laminate

For shipyards and boat builders

Hulls, decks and interiors — from plug to mould

We mill plugs on a 5-axis machine, build dimensionally stable laminate moulds on them, polished to a high gloss, and produce finished parts from those moulds. We build our own yachts under the Lamdo Yachts name, so we know what a shipyard expects from a mould.

Hull plugs

Hull plugs 5-axis milled from MDF or from foam with paste, sanded by hand. Machining up to 16 m in length.

Deck plugs and moulds

A CNC-milled deck plug and a laminate mould built on that plug.

Interiors and details

Plugs and moulds for yacht interior parts — smaller details are machined on our 5-axis machine to a precision of 0.1 mm.

Laminate moulds

Dimensionally stable laminate with a surface polished to a high gloss. We advise on flanges and mould splits.

3D scan

No file? We scan the existing part and prepare the model from the scan.

Finished parts

From the finished mould we make parts — from a single piece to a series.

FAQ

Questions from shipyards and boat builders

How large a hull or mould can you make?

Our largest machine — a 5-axis gantry milling machine — has a working envelope of 10 000 × 3700 × 1700 mm and machines parts up to 16 m in length. It is designed precisely for hulls, moulds and large structures.

What do you mill hull and deck plugs from?

We mill the plug from MDF or from polystyrene foam coated with paste, then sand it by hand. Example: a yacht hull plug made of MDF with filler.

Do you also make the mould and finished laminate parts?

Yes. On the plug we build a mould in dimensionally stable laminate, polished to a high gloss. From the finished mould we produce parts — one-offs and series.

How do you check the accuracy of a mould?

Every finished mould is inspected with a 3D scanner and compared with the CAD model before it goes into production.

We have no 3D model of the hull. Is that a problem?

No. We work from a 3D file, a drawing or individual arrangements. If you have an existing part, we 3D-scan it and prepare the model from the scan.

Can you help design the mould split?

Yes — we advise on the process, flanges and mould splits. We build our own yachts under the Lamdo Yachts name, so we know composite production from the shipyard side.
