Final Project



Aim
The final project is to recreate a motorcycle tank from scratch from programming to metal shaping. 

Procedure
1
Use Photogrammetry or Rhino/Grasshopper techniques to create a 3D model of your chosen fuel tank. After, use Autodesk Slicer for Fusion 360 to prepare your fuel tank template for laser cutting or CNC machining. After that, assemble your template.

Laser Cutting the model and putting pieces in order




Assembly of the model completed version

2.
It is important to be able to shape the model, a 'pattern skin' should be created for it. To be able to make the 'pattern skin', a 'skin' of the model needs to be created for the 'pattern skin' to be able to trace it. The 'pattern skin' is created using 2 A3 paper. The group has 3 team members which splits on the 3 parts of the motorcycle tank and I have chosen the right side of the motor cycle looking from top to bottom.

3.
Metal-shaping the motorcycle tank from an aluminium sheet been provided by Gabe.


Aluminium sheet + 'pattern skin' drawn on aluminium sheet


Cutting using the gullotine




Using the roller to roll the aluminium sheet into shape








Using the English Wheel to make it curve from a vertical side


Using the file make the edge more smoother







At the top end of the metal, the edge was a bit out so using the shrinking and stretching material to fix the edge while also the other curvature to give it a better grip towards the model.








Using the bead roller, having to made a contour platform line for the top piece where it is excess to let it sit on my piece.

Reflection

Introduction This is a reflection on the work of the final assignment project, the custom tank CB550 Andrew Wallace. I will be critically reviewing it using images, video, text and drawings to reveal strengths, weaknesses and alternatives to your approach, techniques and tools. Final Project Our group consist of 7 people have chosen the custom tank CB550 Andrew Wallace. It has a unique shape from from top to bottom which has multiple curvature from both left and right side which considered on of the major challenges in this assignment. This is the final project of how our group had crated the custom tank CB550 Andrew Wallace. Strengths and Weakness There are two part of the assignment which shows both the strengths and weakness respectively of this project. The Strengths of this project would be the metal shaping while the weakness is the software usage within this project which is the Model making. Model Making - Software - Weakness This is the beginning part of the pr

Project 3: The Tray

Image
Aim Make a half cut rectangular prism with curved edge along each side which is know as a tray. The teacher has provided us 3 components to start this project, which is the aluminium, radius gauge and a block.  2xBlocks, aluminium sheet and radius gauge 1. Use the radius gauge of the cut-out circle and draw the suitable circle radius onto the block of woods to make the curved side. I have used the 30mm one which is the hardest as my partner also agreed one. After, use the circular saw to sand out the block to the curve as close as possible. Using the circular saw + results 2. Draw lines 1 cm on the aluminium sheet to make it marking guide for the block to be in the middle of the sheet. Also, draw a curve using a circle of the same radius on each corner of the aluminium sheet to be cut later with a tin snip for hitting the corner later on. Guidelines + Circle Radius Placement + Tin Snipping 3. Using the two block of woods to be in the middle of the al
