In large-scale maritime tooling, the transition from a digital surface to a physical plug is where the greatest risk of volumetric error occurs. When milling a 15-meter hull plug, the primary challenge is not the speed of the spindle, but the management of kinematic stability and material behavior over long machining cycles.

The traditional sequential workflow in yacht construction, moving from naval architecture to an independent tooling facility, introduces a high risk of geometric drift. In production boatbuilding, where tolerances are increasingly tight, the gap between a CAD surface and a physical mold can lead to assembly failures, poor part release, or rejected hulls.
