Case Studies

Aussie Legend Racing

Aussie Legends Racing traditionally made the bodies for their racing cars by hand. This process was proving too slow and difficult to make a symmetrical body.

To speed up development and achieve a symmetrical body, a 3D CAD model was created of the Holden Commodore. A pattern was then cut in foam using computer controlled machinery.

By working on the foam pattern, Aussie Legends could evaluate the look of the car at full size and make changes to the design. One half of the car was worked on.

Once the half was just right, the pattern was 3D scanned. A mirror image was created so the left and right halves were identical. The final 3D CAD model was then sent to be cut by a computer controlled mill to make the final pattern for production.
