Here’s a structured outline for an (e.g., in Python or Bash) that automates the process of “building a boat” — interpreted as generating CAD/CNC files, managing part cutting, or assembling a digital boat model. If you meant a physical boat assembly automation (e.g., for a boatyard), please clarify. Topic: Auto Build Script for “Building a Boat” Useful as a blueprint for a term paper or engineering project 1. Objective Automate the generation of boat hull panels, frame assembly instructions, and material cutting files from parametric design inputs (length, beam, depth, material thickness). 2. Key Components of the Script | Component | Description | |-----------|-------------| | Input parameters | Length (L), Beam (B), Depth (D), plywood thickness (t), number of bulkheads | | Hull geometry generator | Uses offset tables or mathematical hull form (e.g., chined hull, hard chine) | | Nesting algorithm | Arranges 2D panels on standard plywood sheets (e.g., 2440×1220 mm) to minimize waste | | DXF/STEP exporter | Creates cutting files for CNC router or laser cutter | | Assembly steps generator | Produces numbered part list and step‑by‑step build sequence | | Logging & validation | Checks for collisions, material usage, and geometric feasibility | 3. Example Simplified Script Flow (Python pseudocode) def build_boat(params): # 1. Generate hull panels panels = generate_hull_panels(params.L, params.B, params.D, params.t) # 2. Generate bulkheads and transom frames = generate_frames(params.num_bulkheads, params.L, params.B, params.D)
# 4. Export DXF for cutting for sheet in sheets: export_dxf(sheet, f"sheet_sheet.id.dxf") auto build script build a boat
# 3. Nest parts on plywood sheets sheets = nest_parts(panels + frames, sheet_size=(2440, 1220)) Here’s a structured outline for an (e
