3-Surface Blend

Over the last two days, I have been working on the three surface blend on Mastercam, trying to figure out how it works. I have begun to scratch the surface but haven't yet figured it out.

2 Surface Blend

Over the last few days, I have been reading and learning 2 Surface Blend, which will be important for creating the shell.

Shell

Goal for the week:

Finish the shell for the Solar Car


Today, I read the tutorial for how to create a dome on SolidWorks. We will be using domes for the shell.

Framed

The support for the frame has been completed. We now have to complete the shell and wing.

Support the Goal

The support is still a work in progress so our goals are:

  • Finish creating the supports for the frame
  • Test them out in SolidWorks

A Solid Work

We do have a solid frame, but the supports are lacking. We are still deciding where the supports should be placed.

Can Solids Work?

Up to this point we have used MasterCam for the creation of solids due to a lack of skill in SolidWorks. Now with new knowledge, we plan on moving to the latter.

Goals

  • Recreate the frame in solid works
  • Add supports

Masters Can

The frame ended up being initially constructed in MasterCam. It will then be transferred over to SolidWorks
