Step 1:
Export the component of the template from the model of Ferrari in 123dMake and change the document into the Illustrator file for laser cutting.









Step 2:
Use the 3mm mdf as the material of the template and do the laser cut. Then assemble them following the numbers on each part. Now we got a mdf Ferrari. 

Step 3:
Place masking tape and tracing paper on the template to make the surface of template more flat and smooth. 

Step 4:

Divide the car into different parts and trace the shape of each part on tracing paper. Stick the tracing paper on the aluminum sheet and cut it according to the shape of the tracing paper. It was cut a little bit wider than the line on tracing paper so that there’s some flexibility of adjusting the shape after striking it.

 

Step 5:
We divide the car into several parts including: top of the car(from empennage to windscreen), top cover, the front face, right front above wheel, right back above wheel, left front above wheel and left back above wheel, and I’m responsible for the top cover of the car.

The top cover is basically a large rectangular slightly bent and have a linear bulge in the middle. 

Firstly I place the sheet on the template and slightly beat the part surround the bulge to affirm the location of the bulge.
 

 After confirming where is convex, I strike it from the back with the sharp end of the hammer on the sandbag to increase the bulge.


Then use the bigger end of the hammer beating the other part of the sheet to get the bending trend. Always check the bending degree with the template to avoid over bending. 


  

To sharpen the edge of the bulge, I use a wood template with sharp edge. 



Use the English wheel to smooth the surface of the sheet and remove the concave by the hammer.
  

Place the top cover on the template together with adjacent portion to adjust the edge and make them better match. Cut off the useless part and sand the edge with the metal file.

 

Finally polish the surface with metal polish liquid to get a beautiful finish.
 
 

Some details



Final product with every component assembled.

Tutorial of the Aluminum Bowl Things you need 1. Aluminum sheet 2. Metal file 3. Metal cutter 4. Marker 5. Compasses 6. Ruler 7. Mushroom dolly 8. Wooden template 9. Planishing hammer 10. Sandbag 11. Ear protection 12. Nylon hammer Metal polish liquid and cloth English wheel Process of metal shaping Step 1:    Draw a circle on the aluminum sheet and cut it off with the metal cutter. Use the metal file to flatten the edge of the circle. Step 2 Use compasses and marker to draw the reference mark for striking. The circle is divided into 8 even sectors and two concentric circles that has 1/3 and 2/3 radius are marked. Step 3   Place the aluminum sheet on the wooden template and use the sharp end of the nylon hammer beating the point of intersection on bigger reference circle. So that the outer edge gets bent. Do the strike in clockwise or counterclockwise sequence, thus the edge would bent relatively evenly. After the first

Place the aluminum sheet on a wooden cylinder with a concave rut. Bend it along the shape of the cylinder. Use the sharp end of the hammer smash the part above the concave rut to create the curve in the middle. Use the sharper hammer beating on the reversed surface on a sand bag. So that the curves on reverse direction is created. Use the planishing hammer and the bending steel to adjust the arc of the curve. Use the metal polish liquid to make the surface of the object smooth and shining. The final product
