Assignment 2 Part 2: Creating the Initial Assembly of the Car

Step 1: Assembling the Laser Cut Pieces There were many pieces that we laser cut, so it was important to organise the pieces accordingly whilst assembling them. Most pieces fitted in quite well, however there were pieces that required extra force to be properly placed in. Step 2: Adding Masking Tape Layer We decided to add a layer of masking tape over the entire model to give ourselves a better idea on the specific contours and curves of the car. It also helped with dividing the panels of the frame to be delegated to various members of our group.

Task 1: Bowl

The first task we were given to do was to implement various workshop processes to create a bowl-shaped form out of a 2 mm sheet of metal. Step 1: Cutting out the material The initial stages proved to be quite tedious as it involved measuring out dimensions and cutting out the appropriate shape to begin working with. This involved whipping out a protractor to etch the template for the overall base of the bowl. Then with the use of a pruner, we were able to cut out the shape, which actually proved to be quite harder than it looked. To finish off, some sanding was done on the edges to get a more precise cut finish. Step 2: Initial metal beating Now it was time to get into the interesting part, beating the crap out of the material until it provided a form that would somewhat resemble the shape of a bowl. Before any of that happened, it is important that inner circles were drawn out to give visual representation on what areas to hammer down. Next was to grab a wooden template of
