For the second part of the assignment we divided in to smaller group with three people. 

Yihui Wang (left side of the tank)Myself (Right side of the tank)WingYan Chick (Top side of the tank)Together we work for the back side of the tank

1. Pattern making. We wrapped the tank using paper this time and decided what kind of shape we want to create. Eventually we decided to divide into four parts. Here is part I'm doing.

2. After cutting the paper template we than draw the outline on the aluminium sheet.

3. Shaping the metal. 
 Cut the shape follow the outline that created. Mark the place need to be shrink or stretch.

The corners need to be shrink more for the radius of the shape. It combined the bowl and tray to make this shape.

 

 Checking the shape while making the model with mates.

 Finishing and polishing.

1. The first step is use the photos to create a 3d digital model. The photos should be take as much as possible to show the different angles of the tank. 

2. The next step is digitally the photos to create a 3D model. We have tried several solutions. In the end we chose Autodesk Recap (Photogrammetry) to generate the model. At this stage, measure the real model to put dimensions of the digital one and fix the part that is not necessary.

This is the model I made in Rhino but eventually we chose the other one.

3. Then put the file to Fusion 360 slicer to generate the templates for laser cutting. At first we are doing 3mm cut, however due to the material supplied in the lab we change it to 6mm plywood. We cut it at Saturday.

4. Wrapping the model
