Torus Part 2


Getting the Secondary curve



To achieve this curve I decided to use the stretcher machine, and just by the results I wasn't able to achieve it without a cracking point. It was quite difficult as it needed precise pressure on the step.

2nd Attempt

 So I decided to approach it another way - by manual brute force with the mallets and the curve template.
 




This process proved to be more effective as it gave me better control over the material, however it meant that it was a quite a longer process to achieve the curve, as well as that it was more difficult to get a cleaner and smoother finish.

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.
