This homework has been done using a CNC routing machine instead of laser cutter as first one.


It is a trailer for an RC car.

Fab Academy 2013

.

The model has been done in Solidworks. This model has 10 pieces. 1 for the platform, 7 for the chassis and 2 for wheel support.

This is the platform:

I had to add a chassis because after cutting, the platform bended a little with pressure.

I used PVC for all the pieces. Instead of using screws for attaching them i used PVC glue witch can be found in any construction shop.

This is the trailer after fabrications and assembly with bearings installed.
