MDF Models

In order for the Rolland machine to do our models, first we settled the file with all the specifications in the Modela 4player, we send the file to the Rolland and the process began.

You have to take into account that the maximum measurements of the Rolland are 60x40 so your model should not exceed that limits.

We place the MDF block inside, located the center and the high of the material, so the machine have the x, y and z parameters of the block.

The machine start working and this are the resultant models.

In order to improve the finish, we have to and the model to get a uniform surface and then be able to “termoformar”

.stl FILE and VisCAM View

In order to know if the rolland machine can made the prototype first you have to make sure that there are no mistakes and that the volume is complete.

In case of errors you have to modify the modelation and make sure there are no holes or at least reduce the number of errors so the machine can work with the file, to do this we use a program named VisCAM View that show in red the unmatched edges and in green the matched edges.

In order to open the file in VisCAM View, first you have to save it as a ".stl" file, by doing this you create a net of meshes.

An then you open the .stl files in VisCam View and obtain the image of the matching and unmathing edges, so you can send it to the machine or do the proper modifications.

renders

We have already made the proper modifications to the original model.

We generate new and different shapes that are showed in this renders, later on we have to choose one of the 3 different models and make sure that there are no holes or errors so the roland machine can work on it.

This are the renders.

Before modeling...

The black lines are the result of the scanning, you can appreciate the definition of the shape but they are not straight at all, that’s why we decided to straight them and based on the scanning we remade the lines and start sketching the redesign of the car using them as a reference.

Proposals

We made several sketches doing modifications to the cars between all of them we choose 3 that we modeled.

This are my three redesign proposals.

The next class we will select one of the three proposals and then start doing the redesign in detail.
