Painted cars

We painted aour cars and put them in the chasis to get them ready to the surveys..

This is how our cars look like:

MDF & PET cars

Our cars finally were finish and this were the results we obtain ...

They look a little rough but the next step was to give them a hand and get them ready for thermoforming...

This is how they look ready for thermoforming..

..And here are some pictures of that process.. we used pet to thermoform them ..

That class we just dedicate to the thermoforming process and it was really quick and easy... the results were perfect, and the cars look just ready for the next step.

Our cars

We review our file for the roland because today we have our turn...

We had a little problems programing because our pieces are a little to big, but we finally did it and now we are just waiting for the machine to finish.

Fer was fixing the base, making sure it was high enough.

machine was checking surface before starting our file.

Z corp printer

Z print

We learn to program and use the Z coorporation printer

First step is to open an stl file.
Make sure to check the units whenever your are exporting. The should be the same. as your stl file.
If the part is too big the program will tell you to scale your part, and if you are not able to do it maybe you will be in the necessity of cutting your part in 2.
Make sure your part when you justify it its on the bottom and in the left.

Go file 3d print setup, for selecting the printer. Choose serial port.
Check the powder level
How much powder is in the machine, if it is enough or not …
The section is in service: check powder levels.

You can print 2 parts in the same file.
Black areas on the files means that there are holes on your part and the machine is not going to print it.

File print time estimated.. and the its going to tell you the aprox time is going to take the machine to print your file.

These is the control panel of the printer, here you can move, chance powder and depth to your peice.

these are some of the tools you need when you are working with the zprinter. For removing or aplying the powder, etc.

this is how the zprinter looks from the top, that white panel is where the powder remains, and where your file is going to be printed.

we make the programation of the file for the cnc roland and make our appointment for the same machine. everything elses was done. we justa need to wait our turn
