I have done some undertrays in the past, MDF with a few coats of varnish does the trick!

Its just getting it the same as you digital file!

But yea count me in too :thumbsup:

If you can get a side shot of your digital file and also the front rear and top you can literally paste them onto your mdf block or whatever your using and start to carve it out that way.

There will be companies that can make it for you. Approach people how make parts for motorbikes or boats, or anyone that uses fibreglass / carbon as they'll know how to mould it properly.

Once you've done it you need to prime it with a high build primer and then flat that down and probably prime it and flat down again for an ultra smooth finish.

I've got some contacts still if you can't get any where, not sure what they'd charge, give me a PM if you want a hand.

I really like it, and if you make it I will for sure order a few.

Love the shell design, What design software are you using.
I might be able to help you out if your still looking for some one to make a pattern.

Cheers guys just busy with work at mo. Sent files out looking for a few quotes on cnc and rapid proto'd bits so see what I get back.

I used Ashlar Vellum Cobalt can spit out various file types.

craigosh 09-10-2011 12:21 PM

Sorry lads, cant find a way to get the mould made at a resonable cost so I guess the project is dead in the water!!

adey 16-11-2011 01:49 AM

speak to (x factor) member on here. He made a mould for a new cr2 body out of body filler. The finished bodys are superb.

Still trying to get a contact at the uni to see if can use their rapid prototype machines to get a good original from.

Not giving up just yet ;)

Hi
My company has a computer milling machine and a vac former .
We would use a composite called urial .
If you like I could find out a price for the material and maybe come to some sought of agreement over machine time.

craigosh 16-11-2011 09:46 PM

MIGHT have a lead on getting the mould made so we'll see if we can keep it goin!

jimdaloo 16-11-2011 09:49 PM

can youre software convert it into a rhino file?

craigosh 17-11-2011 06:16 PM

Ok guys, mould will be made in 10days. Made some slight changes, new render up later.

t8rtot 18-11-2011 03:36 PM

Sweet

Quick preview render, took the extra slopes off the back, and made the exits of the side pods bit bigger. just simplify it little and make it bit easier to mask :)

t8rtot 19-11-2011 12:34 AM

Looks good. What are we looking at price wise?
