Researched the effect of core geometry on a sandwich composite of fiberglass and MDF. With the intension of designing and building a deck with the precisely tuned characteristics. 

Following our research we built a 27 inch deck tuned to my size and riding style that I used for my daily commute last summer. I have since built a second deck using a different core geometry (diamonds) for my girlfriend whom has a totally different riding style. 

Using the research we had conducted. My self and a different group of Olin students creating an app that will given your weight and riding style generate a dxf file that can be used to cut out your own deck on a laser cutter. It also has a write up for how to build the deck step by step. The website for the project can be found here https://sites.google.com/view/hexdeck/home
