Another Textured Panel Help Request

[jdanforth]

When making panels like those, do you have to do anything to the back of the panel to keep it from cupping or warping?

And would this vary depending on if the material is MDF or urethane foam?

I have seen some samples from other companies. That stuff was 1/2" MDF laminated to 1/2" plywood. That seemed like a pretty damn good idea to me.

Mounting is a concern for me. I'm leaning towards simply mounting to the drywall in my house with Liquid Nails... That does have a small problem of being hilariously permanent...

I would really like to make some 4x8 panels covered in the kind of textures seen in this ShopBot promo photo.



I know that there are a dozen ways of going about this process but I'm hoping someone can show me a quick tutorial for recreating the texture shown at the top right. I have access to an Alpha, Aspire, Cut3D, and Cut2D via TechShop.

I have seen tutorials for doing this in Rhino but I'm hoping there's an easier way.

Thanks!

Here is a < 5 minute tutorial in aspire 2.5 on how to make the upper right panel + a bonus panel for good measure.

I think I will make these panels for the mid atlantic bot gathering at Angus' shop. Anyone interested in seeing them?

HTH,

150.00 per sheet, 4 x 8 (150/32 = 4.68 ) i get 35.00 finishd and installed. 32 x = 35.00 =1120.00 per sheet,


Charge a bit less for 1" hdf 3/4" mdf, yet always lay up a phenolic backer on sheet, just a few bucks yet no warp !!

grants files look great and i will be using them !!

Thanks for the compliment, James! I look forward to helping you with anything you need!

Phenolic backer eh? That sounds like a good solution - what type of phenolic do you use and in what thickness, if you don't mind my asking?

backer sheet is common in military and architectural specs and offsets the warp when a sheet is unbalanced

we have also done it as simple as spraying laquer on the back !
