This task required us to utlize CNC machined templates of teardrops to create a blister shape form using a metal sheet.
Step 1: Preparing the templates and material
So the first step was to cut out the CNC templates that were given out using a jigsaw power tool (which I was unfortunately unable to take pictures of) and then smoothen the inner edges with a router power tool (which again didn't take pictures of). After that we cut out metal sheets to use for the template and the end result was as such:
Step 2: Forming the shape
With the material tightly secured between the two templates, it was time to then start forming the blister form shape using various mallets and cutouts to achieve the best finish.
Step 3: Finishing
After the intended form and shape was achieved, I decided to trim the excess material using tin snips, which were measured by etching out a cut out using a scribe.
Then I began sanding out the edges using filers and sanding boards until it turned out a lot smoother.
