1967 Dart Concept Parts
Hey hemidart67....I’ll start with the pics I have on hand.
This is the render obviously of the front of the medallion. Fusion 360 is a great program to use. Coming from CAD, this a true 3d graphic model software.
This shows the back. The pegs were designed into the piece at the same locations of the originals to be able to adapt to the original backing behind the seat cover.
This shows the item as a STL (3d print file) 3d printers print in layers to make the object. Like little layers of hot glue on top of each other.
The next pics are of the 3d prints in stages.
Out of the printer and sanded lightly to get rid of the layer look
Adhesion promoter for primer
Wet sanded ready for Spectrachrome
Base coat applied
Results of the spray chrome process. Factory medallion in the foreground.
How it comes out of the printer. You can see the layers. Also, it’s placed into the original holes in the backing.
Overall, the 3d prints came out really well. I couldn’t get the brushed look as the chrome was done over the whole face of the emblem, but the lines, shape, chrome/clear quality and overall design is great.
I’ll get the CNC process pics organized and try to update tomorrow with those. If you think these are cool... hold on to your hats. Hahah
Cheers!
