The AKU SHAPER C.S.M. Is recommended if you are doing up to 20 boards per week or less. The C.S.M is the little brother of the the pro model. Its standard size is. 10ft x 32” It has been designed using the highest quality components and craftsmanship and has closed loop stepper motors driving each axis. There is a limited range of features. Even with this radical change in materials and designs, the act of sculpting a rough-cut block of foam, or 'blank,' into a final surfboard shape, or 'shaping,' has remained an artform. But just as the board has advanced, the art of shaping is being advanced by Aku Shaper, a Hawaii-based company co-founded by Kailua native Jimmy Freese.

Aku Shaper is a practical and intuitive software solution geared towards users who need to design their own surfboard, based on specific width, thickness, length and curve dimensions.

Especially intended for surfboard enthusiasts, the application comes with complex options that they can choose from.

Intuitive and user-friendly interface

When you launch the program for the first time, you will notice that the main window includes several tabs that allow you to adjust the settings according to your needs.

Tabs such as 'Outline', 'The Bat', 'Machine Parameters' and 'Board Info' enable you to set each dimension with extra care and preview all the modifications in real-time.

The main toolbar allows you to zoom in or out a specific area in your surfboard, add new points and guides, as well as change the measurement unit from feet and inches, to centimeters or millimeters.

Straightforward and unique cutter design

Aku Shaper enables you to adjust the dimensions of your own surfboard as you want by modifying the length, width and thickness values. Simply drag each square to the right position and change the design of the current board with ease.

Since all the values are automatically displayed in the bottom pane of the application, all you have to do is to change the design of the surfboard while viewing the output result.

Additionally, you can navigate to the ‘Machine Parameters’ tab if you want to modify the cutting file variables such as ‘Top Rail Cuts’, ‘Bot Rail Cuts’ and ‘Bottom Cuts’.

A useful and effective surfboard designer

To sum things up, Aku Shaper provides real surfboard connaisseurs with the right tools that help them to quickly design their own board and adjust the values according to their whims.
