REFLECTION

REFLECTION The project that I have chosen to review critically through reflect on my discipline (construction management and property) is the Fuel Tank of assignment 2. This reflection will outline matters that I have had difficulties with as well as skills/ knowledge I have gained through out the course. In the process of making the fuel tank out of 9 members only 3 were from other disciplines (interior design and architecture) and the other 6 were students of construction management including myself. We were rather fortunate to have some students from different disciplines because if we had not we would have had to learn how to use the software (Rhino and Grasshopper) available for this project. The weakness of little or no knowledge (for others) of these software brought a great challenge. This gave us the opportunity to explore and share everyone’s skills and knowledge and then allocating tasks accordingly. Collaborating (through BIM) with students from o

PETROL TANK.   Harley 883 Iron In a team of 9 we chose to work on the  Harley 883 Iron  fuel tank. To get started we took multiple photos of the tank, in multiple angles, in Photogrammetry ; a software which takes multiple photos of objects and sticking them together to create a 3D model of the object. After this stage the finished Recap is then exported in STL file format and uploaded into Fusion 360 slicer to prepare the fuel tank template patterns to be cut. These patterns are classified in X and Y axis to make it easy to slot them into place (making the template model) Using a l aser cutting machine we cut out the model template patterns (3mm thick plywood) and all its components at a scale of 1:1 after previewing the model and making sure all the sizes/shape and scale are correct before proceeding to cut. You don’t want to make a mistake before cutting because it takes a long time for the laser cutter to cut a
