Boardcrafter Snowboard Building - Snowboard Mold Rib Template

With Boardcrafter Design’s ability to print snowboard templates at 1:1 scale using a standard printer and the introduction of the free shapes library the need for preprinted templates has been eliminated.

The snowboard templates previously available in the Boardcrafter shop have been removed. The shop still provides component snowboard materials and software registration keys.

Snowboard Mold Rib Template - Part 3

Written by Dante Martin

With the snowboard design finalized from part 2 the next step is to make the snowboard mold ribs that will create the tip, tail, and camber profiles I want my snowboard to have. This is done by:

Printing out the snowboard profile shape from Boardcrafter Design and sticking it to an MDF plank with spray adhesive
Extending the tip and tail to give some working surface at both ends of my snowboard mold
Cutting the shape carefully with a high quality Jigsaw and sharp new wood blade
Smoothing any bumps in the mold rib template with a palm sander

Mine are 229 cm long but I first built my mold then I cut my mold ribs to fit inside. So the length can vary.
