Description
Custom classic car and hot rod builds often require many custom parts that are bespoke to the vehicle. In this session, we'll use several custom components created for the Iron Maven vehicle—built by Girl Gang Garage and featured at SEMA and in MotorTrend—to demonstrate workflows for designing and fabricating the components from the ground up. The workflow demonstrations will focus on cosmetic and mechanical components, with an example of a 3D-scanning-to-freeform-modeling workflow for cosmetic components and a measurement-and-fit-check-to-parametric-modeling workflow for mechanical components (and mechanical features). Finally, examples of finishing 3D-printed parts with production-quality finishes will show workflows for fabrication.
Key Learnings
- Learn how to integrate 3D-scanned meshes into Fusion 360 for both cosmetic and mechanical feature matching.
- Learn about implementing component design workflows suited for designing custom aftermarket components.
- Learn how to use freeform modeling in Fusion 360 for component surfacing.
- Learn how to fabricate components using additive manufacturing processes and finish to production-quality appearance.
