Summary
A profession that handles the entire manufacturing process of ski boards, including forming wooden cores and composite materials by pressing and laminating, polishing, graphic printing, and quality inspection.
Description
Ski board manufacturers combine wooden cores such as poplar and linden with composite materials like glass fiber and carbon fiber, and shape them into boards using heat and pressure in a press machine. After forming, they precisely finish the sliding surfaces and edge shapes using grinding and polishing machines, perform base and graphic printing, and install edges. They also measure dimensions, flex, torsional rigidity, etc., and inspect whether standards and quality criteria are met. Line operations based on production plans, machine maintenance, and safety and health management are also included in the duties.

While stable job openings are expected due to demand in the winter sports market, the number of skilled workers may gradually decrease due to increased overseas contract production and the introduction of automation.
