Hello
I'm looking for a CAD designer to model a car body, scale it 1:1 and slice it.
I don't know if I'm expressing myself well but basically, I need this:
Compared to this:
How much would it cost me to have the finished file with the 1:1 scale cuts?
Hello
Nice subject ! What exactly are you waiting for? And what is the purpose of the project? You want to produce replicas of Alfa Romeo 158s, scale models,... ?
The longest part is certainly the modeling of the bodywork. Slicing will be very simple.
Good evening
Why not propose it as a challenge! I think many would be interested.
Maybe it's an idea! (there is a group to file the calenges)

Is good I'm looking to make a replica, there are kits in England, but very expensive and I'd really like to make it from A to Z.
I tried to do it on paper, but it's not precise enough. I prefer to go through a pro, than to buy a software, take 1 year to understand how to do it (and even ^^) so that in the end it is badly designed.
The whole thing will be mounted on a COX chassis. I already have a lot of images of a guy who does it on TOPSOLID if it helps.
I don't know the principle of "CHALLENGE" sorry :-/
What is it?
If someone has already done it on TopSolid, you should ask them for a STEP file. If he's a real enthusiast, you should get along! :)
Edit: do you keep the scale 1 (chassis modification) or do you have to adapt to the tracks and wheelbase of the chassis? The job will not be the same
HS: Would you keep the quartaplat?
I preferred to make sure of it, but I'm going to ask him anyway.
Yes, I plan to keep the quatraplat to try to be as legal as possible.
I would drive with the COX registration document in the collection, which leaves a little freedom. But not enough to put a 6 cylinder in line, and even if I take the risk of installing one, I have to reinforce the chassis, install bigger brakes etc....
I'm thinking of adapting to the wheelbase of the COX (simpler is always in order to be the most legal), as for the tracks it's quite simple to modify them with rim sizes and wideners.
We have a slight difference, but I think we can unfurl the hull to adapt it to the chassis.
Hello
I bring you my opinion, it is only my opinion.
If I understood correctly you want to carry out a project similar to this one: http://kitcar.bb-fr.com/t609-alfa-159-replica-1951
Ideally, you should start by 3D modeling the chassis of the cox with steering and transmission for precise wheel arching and location of the mounts; so have one on hand to take the ribs. Estimated time: 30h-40h
Then draw the shell adapted to this chassis : 20h-30h
Drawing the frames : 8pm-30h
If I push a little further : design the assembly of each member + detail plans of each piece scale 1 A0 format: 20h-40h
The hourly rate of a cartoonist can easily vary from 0Euro, if passionate, to approx. 40E/hour if professional.
Please attach the links to the existing replica's website.
I assume that you already have knowledge in vehicle restoration and wish you good luck in the realization of this ambitious project.
Kind regards
Hello
Yes I want to go with the same one as this one:
http://kitcar.bb-fr.com/t609-alfa-159-replica-1951
I read his whole subject and the guy does it by "eye"!, it's doable, but easier with the cuts already made in 3d (and more precise).
So by searching on the internet I found this:

As for the chassis of the COX , I don' t think we need to model it.
Just make the hull of the 159, then I manage to make the cuts for the track passages.
It's true that the ideal would be to do the steps you explained, but here the designer has to go on site to take his measurements (itmay be expensive), but if it says someone I'm on Besançon ^^
In fact you just want the templates. Did you directly ask if they could provide you with them?
If you do everything else, it may be possible.
Hello
What a great project!
Without going into too much detail, I would do it like this:
1. I would download a template from them:
http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/alfa-romeo-158-159-3d-obj/696745
2. I modify the 3d model to extract the bodywork (Blender or other).
3. I use 123D make to extract the sections of the 3D model.
Regards
I asked for the 3d files but they kindly told me it was too complex if you had no experience in these softwares :-/So I'm asking again to have only the dimensions of the slices or a plan of all the slices, but I think it's off to a bad start....
Not bad at all this link:
http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/alfa-romeo-158-159-3d-obj/696745
But even if I buy it, I won't be able to do the rest of the steps^^
So I'm waiting for the answer for the slice plan, and from there I'll tell you if I need your skills.
In any case, thank you for your answers and research ;-)
If you get the model in 3 D
Conversion is always possible, not simple but possible
so with this file you will at least have the sides that hold up
so correct refs that must fit the chassis as well as between the axis of the tracks
It's still better than a bluescren
As I understand that you want to make the bodywork, what material will it be made of?
since you want to slice it and your slices by how many Cm
@+ ;-)
Be careful, the file types offered on TurboSquid are a bit special. Some are treatable by SW (obj), but not as easily as STEP for example.
As for asking the high school to provide you with the 3Ds, you can also simply ask them for the dxf (2D) of the "slices" and their longitudinal positioning (according to the X-axis). From there, you can have these profiles printed on a 1:1 scale (via a plotter) by a reproduction company and glue them on boards to form the templates. Or you can have them cut directly by a carpenter equipped with a CNC (more precise and fast).
Hello
Concerning Besançon, there is the IUT GMP http://iut-bv.univ-fcomte.fr/pages/fr/accueil-gmp-330.html
They are very passionate, I think they could help you ;)!
FYI, there's a tutorial for this pattern here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdsR-jIywWk
And this 3D model is only $20 or 18€:

In Besançon there are above all @.PL !!! :-)
@.PL, at first glance, the price difference with the model you propose is justified by the care of the modeling: on the $20 model we are more on an evocation than a faithful reproduction. Just look at the nose with the taut rather than bulbous line, and the linear rather than pronounced wind jump.
@maxime, you should see if the proportions are respected between a photo of a real model (the original one) and those of the 3D proposed. In the field of reduced models, there is a bit of the same problem where some do more artistic with random propotions and others are more rigorous with strictly reproduced proportions. It would be a shame to spend $20 or $150 to have a wobbly model.
Good evening
To answer GT22, I want to make the fiberglass bodywork with a metal frame, but I need to do a master's degree. That's why I want to sausage it with wooden slices, easy to work with.
Wholesale:
1st step to do the master's degree with a wood slice
2nd step cover fiberglass, sand etc...
Step 3 Make the mold
Step 4 Install Metal Frame
It's not that simple^^
The school gives me an answer in 15 days to provide me or not with the dimensions/dimensions of the slices.
I'll see if the 3d models offered are in the right proportions and therefore choose the best one if I get a negative answer from the school.
