Blue Shed Shaping
- Second 3DM System
Blue Shed Shaping designs and shapes precision water craft from conception to reality, with the use of the world’s best shaping machine…3DM! After years of hand shaping we purchased our first 3DM Machine System in 2009 for the Kite & Wind surf industries.  Since the world wide explosion of
SUP’s, the time had come to invest in an additional 3DM System in 2011.  John designed and engineered a machine that not only meets but surpasses the demands of this global phenomenon.  Blue Shed Shaping is proud to say that with the use of a 3DM System, we offer shaping services of up to 22 ft,having the largest machine in the Pacific Northwest.
3DM! …Engineering the best for the best!

Hello 3DM. My name is Tommy Grimes and I came across your site because I want to learn more about these machines. I am a custom board shaper out on the east coast and have aspirations to start a custom board shaping business/retail clothing shop in the near future. No I am not kidding either. However I do have some questions.

What is the price to buy a machine outright from your business

Is there any problems with shaping blanks that are EPS or XPS

Is it best to take a course/class in CAD design or something of the nature to help me improve my knowledge on the computer aspect of designing the boards

As a shaper and someone who loves the craft, I know these machines do not take the soul out of surfing as many say it does. Real shapers know that the soul of surfing lies in the design of the surfboard and the ways to forever improve. My love for this game will never perish. I just want you to know that you have my blessing and respect to take shaping to the next level. All real shapers would stand beside me with that statement.

I appreciate your time to read this testimony. I hope to do business in the future.

-Tommy Grimes (Sole proprietor/ president of TGP)

Hi Guys

Interested in pricing and delivery to 08736 (New Jersey) for the machine. Also please let me know overall dims of the machine and recommended space to put it in. We’re in the middle of building our factory right now and want to design an appropriate room to fit your machine.
Thanks in advance
