Assignment 2 - Fuel Tank
Assignment 2 - Fuel Tank: Assignment Requirements: As part of a team, we were required to create a 1:1 scaled template that replicated a motorcycle fuel tank. The fuel tanks were supplied by the course lecturers / tutors. As an individual we needed to create an aluminium mould that replicated the look of one third of the fuel tank Techniques Utilised During Assessment: Shrinking and Expanding of the Aluminium Curvatures Crimping of Aluminium Process: 1. Take photos of Supplied Fuel Tanks To allow the group to create the 3d model, a range of photos at different angles where taken to ensure that the software could recognise the shape and mould of the fuel tank itself. The photos that were taken needed to depict the curvature and the size to ensure that the shaping process could be completed as smoothly as possible. 2. Create 3d Model The next process involved utilising the software - Rhino to reconstruct the 3d model. To allow the model to be created usin
