Plate Trooper

[Metal///DIY]

Hi everybody!

Started a new project, idea is cutting plate aluminium pieces and weld them together. By now we got 3D model, which gives us full vision about form and construction elements. Videos in motion help in visualisation too.


Firt of all-sketch:

Next - modeling:

Next step - laser cuttin parts and frame assembly:

Looking forward to cross-arms fabrication...coming soon

Wow... that's just incredible.

Welcome to the site and to the build off. I think you just upped the ante.

Glen.

How can we compete with Russian nuclear submarine welders?!!!!!! Welcome to the party!!! That design is wild. This is going to be a blast to watch.

We actually have another RRBer not so far from you in Tallinn.

Very nice!

When it's finished maybe you could build one of these to ride it for you!

Very cool! I did 3-D modeling for 25 years, what software do you use?
Would be neat to make a new springer using 3-D!

Its Cinema 4D

3D gives excelent visualisation plus other packages allow to watch stress characteristics/ Finite Element Analysis for example.

Wow! And you buy a year subscription for $1800. Much cheaper than BITD but too much for me.

 

[Metal///DIY]

2000 euro)))

Now this will be a cool build to watch.
Welcome to the build-off.

It's okay. Next level would be if the lasers were mounted on sharks!!!
