Styrotech CNC: Our 'State of the nation' and looking towards 2017
16 Nov 2016 0 Comment(s)
It's been a while since we last posted a blog - undoubtedly a reflection of how busy we've been in 2016. Things are, however, changing - unless you've been living under a rock, you'd know how expensive it is to live in Auckland.

25 Nov 2015 0 Comment(s)
2015 – WHAT A YEAR! The sheer volume of inquiries, and subsequent transformation of these into CAD, CNC and more recently 3D printing has seen us busier than we have been since Americas Cup days in the early ‘noughties’.

Traditionally, boards (windsurf, surf, kite or paddleboards for example) were designed on paper and shaped by hand, or even shaped by eye and ‘feel' whereby the shaper knew what they were looking for. The process emphasised the skill of the shaper - creating a ‘good’ board was as much an art as it was a science, and really determined a 'really good' shaper from a 'good' one. Read More...
