I run a small online shop selling a wooden product that has parts with lots of curved areas that take ages to sand with typical sanding tools. It‘s the most labour intensive part of manufacturing the product and I really could not find any good solutions yet. As I am also currently searching for hardware product ideas to start my own startup I wanted to ask if any of you guys have this problem with sanding as well? If yes have you any ideas how this could be solved? I thought it would be great to have a sander that could actually mold to the shape of the part? Or am I just overlooking an obvious solution that already exists, I am not an experiences woodworker by any means.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this!

I am a reptile, amphibian and invertebrate keeper myself and I‘m looking for possible Hardware product ideas for this market. What would solve a problem you have?

I am looking for ideas for a hardware startup and since I am a maker myself I wanted to find out about possible underserved niches in this community. For example I would love to see affordable metal powder 3d printers. Thank You for your answers:)
