Assignment 2 Project: The 1:1 Scale Fuel Tank
Step 1: As a team consisting of 10 multidisciplinary members, we will create a 1:1 scale plywood template first, replicating an existing motorcycle fuel tank and then divide it into thirds. As individuals we will apply our skills learned from the previous assignment and create an aluminium skin to adhere to our third of its contours. In our first group meeting, we decided to choose the fuel tank by Andrew Wallace for this assignment and downloaded its digital model on Moodle. We exchanged everyone’s abilities and ideas of how to create the perfect template of the fuel tank that can help us approach this assignment in the best way. So we all agreed we create the strong and rigid template of the fuel tank together, and using the template’s surface to create the aluminium skin by using the hammer forming skills from the previous assignment. We prepared the 3d model of the fuel tank by Andrew Wallace in 3DS MAX and import it into Autodesk Slicer for Fu
