This tutorial will cover the group and individual processes undertaken to create a scale model aluminium skin of a Ferrari 250 GTO (pictured above). The first task is to create a 'buck'. A buck is the mould, or skeleton that the aluminium panels will be tested on to look for imperfections in the panels that require further attention. The aim is to have all panels fit snug when applied to the buck, with edges of panels meeting flush. To begin making the buck, download the available .STL model, import into a slicing program. The idea behind the slicing is to create a series of sections running along an X & Y axis that can fit together to give a suggested shape. An appropriate slicing program would be Autodesk's Fusion 360, which is free for students. With the .STL file imported, select the number of slices requires on the X & Y planes, then select 'get plans'. This will allow you to export a file with 2D vector lines of each of the panels that wil...
