Fuselage mould milling

Yep, it just started we are about to finally get our mould to laminate a fuselage structure.

But first we had to:

Design in a Catia V5, how to arrange material for milling, to avoid too much waste....



Then we cut a prolab into small pieces according to design above and stick them together in a proper way.


And finally we could move to workshop with milling machine. Of course on the way there we generated a CNC code for the machine....


So that's a result of 8 hours of constant milling and days spent over computer, in a workshop with hands on job... in dust and sweat :P Well we reckon that's impressive :)
