I've got the Maslow. After some initial problems the 5000 or so of us in the initial buy have it working well. I'm probably behind on the latest innovations but mine is accurate to .1 or .2 mm, the boys might have the latest one working better than that. My total setup a little less than $1k.

"this generation of designs is that the curves tend to b gentle and in a single axis, so you can bend the flat panels around a CNC-cut form and get very consistent results".
It's always been one my a priorities that in addition to a clean mess free lamination process is that I would opt to use as much panels on a flat prep sheet where the Intelligent Infusion process could be used. The hulls, masts, beams, rudder and furniture will be created using that process and there will be no deviation from the established strategy there. That's also the rational for the conic sections I chose to wrap the cabin. Flat panels form the conics sections and glued up and that stage of the build would come after experience in finishing the hulls. Hulls after finishing the furniture. Furniture after finishing the doors. Doors after finishing the ..... you get the picture. Just remember that with resin infusion it's all or nothing. I don't want to chance a badly setup resin infusion strategy on anything too complex, hence glued up flat panels. Yeah, and does remain to be seen whether sections of flat panels glued up into long sections can be curved successfully. There may be a section I would suspect where a there's that possibility of a bend that's "a bridge to far" but I won't know unless I try and with rabbeted edges. As Rob mentioned it may be that a laminate be placed on one side only at first may be possible before a curve be put on it, followed by the second laminate after set up on curves of either plywood or battens. I hope that I can ramp up my infusion strategy and skill level before I cross that bridge.
I though!
t about CNC cut forms when I saw a video for the Maslow CNC. Check it out.
