3rd Partial

























Here are renders that show our advance in the modifications that we are going to do to our car.
Since the surveys show that people wanted changes in the headlights and grill (mainly) we focus on changing this parts of the car, in order to please our users.

We modify the grill and headlights, following the prefrences of our users, the grill is bigger and its shape is alike to the Audi TT Clubsport Quattro.
We also advance in the walls of the modelation, so it can be printed in the Z corp.

Painted PET models







In order to do our surveys we paint the PET models so that people can imagine how they would really look like and answer more accurately.

MDF AND PET







This are the MDF models that we use to create our PETmodels by thermoforming them.

Survey

Last class we have our PET models finished so we started applying the survey, our goal is to apply it to 40 people so we can obtain more accurate results.

With the results that we obtain from our survey we will decide which car are we going to choose in order to make modifications to it, taking into account of course the preferences of our users.

Using the surveys we ask the users for their preferences in cars, the shapes that they prefer, the colors, the different modifications that you can make to a car. We will base our decisions in the results of the survey that’s how we pretend that the final result will please our users.

PET models

Since we have the MDF models we have to sand them in order to create PET models using the “termoformado” machine, we sand the MDF models so the texture will be uniform, later on we apply soap in the model so the PET doesn’t attach to the model.

Now that we have already the models of our cars, we paint them, so that people can appreciate the shape and how the final model will be. Also we add to it some details like the lights and the windshield, so the shape and proportions are easier to understand.
Each one of our models is in a different color, because we are going to apply surveys, and one of our questions are focused in the color of the car, so in that way people can appreciate the different colors and finishes that the car can have and we will know which one is the best so we can also add it to our car.

CNC

Last class we went up stears to see how the CNC Works.

The machine uses a dust made out of polymer and also special glue, the process is easy, the machine spreads glue and then a layer of dust, and then again glue, over and over until the piece is finished.

When it is over you have to clean the piece and remove the excess of material later on you have to apply a layer of an special sealer that will make the piece stronger and provide a more resistant finish.

The materials involved in this process are very expensive so you have to be careful and avoid waste them by placing the pieces in the right way so you can save time and material.
