Project 3: The Tray

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 aluminium sheet and push them together as much as possible. this can be achieve using a clamp. Later use a melee hammer to hit the showing aluminium onto the wood.
Wood clamping onto the aluminium

 Melee hammering the edge

Result

 As shown that the corner is not fixed while the surface is not smooth, which is why you need to planish with a planishing hammer to match your partners one as much as possible, in height and straightness

4.
Final Result with the partner as well

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 th...

Project 1: The Bowl

Image
Aim The first project, 'The Bowl' which is a hemisphere 3-D shape that needs to be created starting with an aluminium sheet which has been provided by the teacher/tutor.  Procedure Pre-Procedure This pre-procedure is presented by tutors to show the students some technical steps we need to use or be prepared or will be prepared for doing project one. Laser Cutting shown by Martin Boehnel This is making four concentric rings for doing procedure one of the project which is use to make marking on the aluminium sheet to be cut and moulded, while also making a radius gauge to be use as a guide for getting the right radius. This is achieved using a laser cutter which is shown and prepared by Martin Boehnel.  Concentric Rings Radius Gauge Laser Cutter 1 Use the 4 concentric rings to make the markings on the aluminium sheet using a black or red marker These markings guides you on making the bowl by cutting and hitting it usi...

Final Project

Image
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, u se Autodesk   Slicer   for   Fusion 360   to prepare your fuel tank template for laser cutting or CNC machining. After that, a ssemble your template. Rhino/Grasshopper techniques with  Autodesk   Slicer   for   Fusion 360 done by Russel 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 s...
