Location: SWITZERLAND | I have started modeling my '59 Dodge. I have the technology, the know-how, some time for do this, and last but not least - the authentic car in my home. In Internet I found some other models, some of them very nice, but most from drawings or pictures, therefore not exact and looking artificially. I would like to do it perfect, as my car, with the correct dimensions, and in real-view technology. This designs could as well be used for direct tooling and professional reproduction. This will take some time, and one day hopefully, the '59 Dodge will stay here like an Original! The first problem is to get the correct dimensions, curves and shapes. The next problem is to put these original "hand-designed" data geometrically in the system. What remains is puzzle. I will start with the more complex chrome parts, emblems, and then go on to the body. All the pictures shown here will be unexpectionally 3D-Cad Designs. May-be there are Members with the similar potential in supporting this objective, using SolidWorks, or does some parts have already been designed?

That would really be hard to do. Be good if you could use a laser or microwave or something like that (like a surveyeyer uses) to sort of slice the car up didgitally.

How does it do it? The first one has reflections in it. I thought it was all measurement based or something. I have to admit to knowing nothing about CAD

Location: SWITZERLAND | ttotired: Be good if you could use a laser or microwave . . .
Just for have it in 3D could work for some parts (not for a HubCap as shown), similar to a scanned photo. Have a look at parts being reproduced with Originals as Master, most of them visibla as Copy and not as not as Original.
To copy, as I do here, is not creative at all. But but the way, the tool and the stunning results are a challenge for the brain.and as well an enjoyment.
ttotired: The first one has reflections in it . . .
Scenes and material can be assigned to the model. Here I used "warm kitchen" for remove the technical aspect, and "polished chrome" for an Original look. The rear side is matt with no reflections, as the Original HubCap.(material could be stone, rubber, wood, or whatever).
1956DeS: And someday they'll make a machine to produce a car from the CAD data.
I think may-be .. in 50 years? But in reduced size as did Cadi with one of there cars, and with other Engine/Suspension and Electronics. But overall looking exact same! And these files can be used for direct tooling (without dimensions, or direct sampling with Stereo-Lithography)
slimwhitman: . . . please share your cad file with us. . .
With eDrawing (free download), the parts can be viewed. rotated, zoomed and as well automatic displayed in various views as for show.
Wizard: Thank you for the encouragement!- SERGE -

Location: SWITZERLAND | Here is just one HeadLamp Ring. The other can simply be mirrored as many other Car Parts to come.
Who is owner of a 1959 Dodge can easy compare this design with the Original. There are minor differences from one part to the other, even the rings are not exactly round. Here I did it "correct"! (All pictures shown are PrintScreens and reduced in Size)

Location: SWITZERLAND | This is the TAG-Plate of my 1959 DODGE Convertible, as already shown in another thread. But this one is revised:
The character of the letters and there position is adapted to the Original. Then the plate has the correct border, and what was very critical to realize, on the rear of the plate, the letters are "stamped" as in production.

Location: SWITZERLAND | Going on modeling some other parts, I weighted the Rear Lamp Body, well-known by every owner of a 1959 Dogde. I measured exactly 1000 grams, say 1 kg. BigBlockMopar will kindly check and confirm this value. On the CAD Rear Lamp Body I have assigned the Material "Zinc, As Cast" and got a weight of 1044.09 grams. Then I assigned as well plastic "ABS", as used for rechromed plastics, and got a weight of 158.95 grams. Means, alone these 4 Bodies, reproduced in Rechromed Plastics, would reduce 3.36 kg of the cars weight, the volume and the surface area of this Body remaining the same. Impressive numbers!

Location: SWITZERLAND | This tricky "game" I expected to be easier - finally I got it. The Rear Lamp Unit: Body, Lens, Seal, Ring, Screws. All modeled in a Single Multipart File.
The three asymmetrical mounting studs I replaced with four symmetrical ones, for a mounting in any position of the car: right side top, right side bottom, and on the left side correspondingly. I also removed the rear injection points around the Lamp Socket.
One more perfect "restored" Unit on the way to the virtual 1959 DODGE. - SERGE -
I added eDrawing-Files: PanHead Screw, 1959 Rear Lamp Seal, 1959 Rear Lamp Ring, as illustrated here. The Rear Lamp Ring can be seen on the car in the thread "Make-up your Car".

Congrat Hermann, you are very observant. In fact, because I did this set as a MultiPart in a single file, I just "mirrored" the screw and got therefore a second one with lefthand thread. Now I will "array" the screw and both will have righthand thread - thanks.

Location: SWITZERLAND | This Parking Lens may be one of the easiest parts to model: just sketch the profile and revolve. Often broken, they are hard to find NOS and thus quite expensive. The reproductions, available on the market, are silver painted on the outern surface, instead chrome plated as original. Here you see it correctly.
On my DODGE I use another lense, will be shown later on in the assembly. For security reasons, in Switzerland this light should be visible at a side angle of 150deg.

The Front is center-angeled by 5 degree, not remarkable on the car. The Chrome Bars left and right hand, here not shown, are parallel and thus have as well a 5deg angle each other.

Location: SWITZERLAND | This Collar on the Front Position Lamps was optional only on the '59 Custom Royal. Original there is an upper and a lower half. Here you see the right side Collar. To get the left side one it has to be mirrored.
For an uniform view from side, this Collar here is modeled in one piece and is just cut as original, only on one, the inner side; thus being fixed with only 3 screws. On my car the full round Collar has 23 teeth as on the model - on some Original Brochures I counted less. This is a very rare part to find, here guaranteed pits-free! - SERGE -

Location: SWITZERLAND | For variation now a part that can be used, as option, on all FWL-Cars: the Dual Rear Antenna, here shown the left side one as set, the right side one mirrored as shown in the last picture
An ingenious concept, combined with a full free surface modeling technology, allowed this complex shape to be implemented quite fast. Thus, I added more details inside the Antenna Body.
The Antenna Bar correspond to my upgraded Automatic Device, I may show it here later on.
On the other hand, here the Antenna Gasket as described in "Make-up your Car!". This Gasket can be mounted without the complicated dissassembling of the the antenna. The 3 cut-out angle have 100deg (+), the partial length are 169.5 + 171 + 25.1 = 365.6mm, the outer circumference has 367.75mm. For a better visibility I did the gaps wider than in reality. A separate file of this gasket is attached for eDrawing (free download this application SW).
Here another nice model, hard to identify differences to the Original. Many car owners are looking for this Rear Dual Antenna, and when once available - hardly affordable.
Unfortunately, here you can just see it - but not take it! - SERGE -

Location: SWITZERLAND | wizard - 2011-01-29 9:47 PM I'm flabbergasted by the beauty in those pictures . . . . . . as I am with many excellent jobs shown on this site.
I even barely believed to get such authentic models.
To be honest: For doing this, no High School is needed, for it is not an engineering, but simply a copy of an existing part. As everyone with some know-how in applied Mechanics is able to restore a car, as well everyone with some Know-How in descriptive Geometry can translate a part to a model. Both need the correct tools and the way to use them, some creativity and the motivation to bring the ambitious aim to an end. It is like a game you want to win.
At the end all are flabbergasted of their own incredible results. - SERGE -

Location: SWITZERLAND | To be correct, here the Original Rear Antenna Gasket. I found a pair of Repros, not used, because they are too big (up to 3mm too long), the reason for the alternative. They are equal, although the base is not symmetric. Here the Original is exact to the corresponding base.
I feel this look "softer", but not applicable without removing the antenna. Just find another profile for the alternative. Compare and judge yourself on the second picture.
I added as well an eDrawing file of this Original Gasket, hopely the producer will use this for direct tooling. - SERGE -

The rear end of the Long Rear Moulding is as well curved in order to fit the fender. Apart this, the profile is simple and the length is just another number to program.

Location: SWITZERLAND | Wizard: Until now I used spare parts, and I didn't disaembled parts from the car jet. I don't have a spare Door Handle and will just model what is visible, as well with other parts. Later on I can add what is missing, as the mounting brackets on the Body of the Front PositionLamp. The exact position of the items for the assembling I measure on my car. As can be seen on some shown parts , the chrome is very shiny and on others not. When very shiny, the problem is mirroring the ambient, as when take pictures from chrome parts. Then the real shape is hardly visible. Thus, the shown Side Mouldings have removed ambient, or the mirroring profile will narrate. On the pictures you can easy recognize if there is a model or a real part, when inside a part there is unrealistic the same light and ambient. There I could add "matte chrome" as I did on the rear of the HubCap. This one looks amazing as an Original. JT Newman: By scanning parts you get a model with all blemishes of the part due to the production process and the non-linear shrinking of the molds. A reproduction using a scanned or impressed part will experience a second shrinking. In a new part the shrinking factor is taken into account by selecting the material. On the other side, a scanned part can as well be (up-) scaled. - SERGE -

Location: SWITZERLAND | . . . Apart from that the shape is as the original. . . No, when assembling with the collar I saw one step wasn't cut-out on the lower side. Just cut both in one operation. I think this is for not touch the Front Bumper or for tighten the screws. Not nice, could even remove in the model.

Location: SWITZERLAND | After completing the Front Bar I can present a first Assembly of the Front. I removed the shown Step Cut, as well on the lower side of the Front Bar, for a nicer aspect. In the Computer all is done with real dimensions 1 :1. For the first time, the owners of a 1959 Dodge can check if their Front Components are aligned correctly. - SERGE -

Location: SWITZERLAND | wizard - 2011-02-19 10:11 PM . . . will you do the sheetmetal as well? . . . The objective is to have one day all the complete car, what is visible. The biggest job (games!) are all the parts around the car, what I am doing now. Every part is a single project. The body (sheetmetall) will be a small thing in respect to the Knight Head or other complex parts. This will be one single "cover", then being splitted in Trunk, Doors, Hood. For now I already assemble the existing parts at the correct location, "floating in the air" - these parts are "waiting" for the body. What doesn't exist jet can be added by imagination.
At the end any color combination can be realized, even in wood, in stone, any material. All the car can be scaled, transformed, stretched . . . whatever by a few commands, keeping all in 3D-RealView. Then the car can be placed in any 3D-environment, there will hardly be a difference between reality and animation. This will be the end of the game or - then the real game starts! - SERGE -

Without any details primarly very easy and fast to realize. But then the pattern of the borders, with the many fillets, finally needed alone about 50 (fifty) times more memory, the file size has grown up to 49MB (Mega).

Location: SWITZERLAND | This Rear Emblem comes on the trunk of the Custom Royal, on the Coronets there are two on the fender front sides. For technical interested Readers I show shortly how this body is being modeled. Take a picture size 1:1 as base reference, draw five sections for the left arm, loft them along 3 guides and mirror this half to get the entire body. This as well for the flower emblem: left and center part, mirror this as to get the complete flower, and mirror all again to get it twice. Loft the upper small bar at constant profile, extrude the panel with the given profile, extrude the lower Dent and array it 5 times. That's all! All other is the finish. Some items are shown matte for no mirror irritations. The knight, being used as well for other Emblems to come, will be done separate and shown later. – SERGE -

Location: SWITZERLAND | The Chevron Emblems are mounted on the rear fenders, thus there have two different ones, the one for the left side and the other for the right side, with different part numbers. At the first glance they look equal. But the lower side, seen when mounted, is about 1.5mm higher. Here I modeled both items symmetric, the mounting pins being mirrored as on the samples. The original emblems have various thickness, and the wings differs from the others in details – the wellknown tolerances at the time. A reproduction by from a 3D-scan of these parts could be critical. Now I can state, this Chevron Emblem has never been illustrated as nice and perfect as on the shown pictures here. – SERGE -

Location: SWITZERLAND | There are two scripts “Custom Royal”, on the left and the right side of the car. They are made in golden anodized Aluminium. Because letters cannot be mirrored, both scripts are identical. A picture and/or better a scan on the flatbed scanner gives a useful reference contour. Before using, it must be aligned to fit to the real measured values. The picture 01 shows the "aligned" script, the verticals of the support becoming straight and the sheetmetall underneath rounded. As these emblems varies in details from one to the other, the letters of the reference sketch have to be optimized – what needs the most time. Once the result is satisfying by visual control, then the proceeding is simple. Finally, the modeled scripts have to be deformed to the bodys curved surface. CAD made this easy, but by processing the computer goes quite busy. The mounting pins are missing and not modeled here. Another golden eye-catcher, upgrading the 1959 Dodge Custom Royal to its exclusivity - SERGE -

These files, converted to .STEP or .STL as used in the industry, can directly be used for Tooling or 3D-Printing. Last process is still not enough exact for small parts. The Golden Knight Head is still on my "program", but it must be done perfectly. |

Location: SWITZERLAND | Push Button Unit: The gear in the automatic torqueflite transmission is set by five push buttons R – N – D – 1 – 2 . These are moulded parts in green transparent plastic, the letters are graved and colored with paint (01). These buttons are just shifted on to the rear mechanical unit. The transparency shows exact the original conical design (02). The protecting chrome cups are pushed on the buttons (03). For a smoother return, O-rings are provided as dampener (04). Finally, the patterned and polished aluminium panel is mounted and fixed by two screws (05). As the buttons are in transparent plastic, with rear light they appear illuminated (06). In the exploded views all parts are visible (07)(08). Here the push button unit as it is – in 3D-RealView. Any questions? Yes, with the STL-files of the present design these push buttons could be reproduced exactly with a 3D Printer, even the green transparent 3D Filament is now available. - SERGE -

Location: SWITZERLAND | Sven: . . . . it must have taken many hours of measuring and creating the pushbuttons . . . . As the software is parametric, the exact dimensions are re-measured and corrected at the end of the modeling process. And for those who are familiar with: This is not an assembly of parts as usual, but a multipart design. I use to do a mastersketch, one or two views referring to all parts. Later the dimensions can be modified here, means that all parts are in one single file .sldprt, and in the sketched position, except when "exploded". Equal items are modeled together, or mirrored, arrayed and copied if needed. - SERGE -

Location: SWITZERLAND | The reference for numbering the speedometer scale is the drum, as it is lateral fixed and cannot be moved. Thus, the distances of the scale numbers have to be positioned and centered according the lines (01). Total distance for any 10mph is 18.583mm, the numbering length for 140mph (center to center) is 223mm. The original scale is somewhat mismatched, now the numbers are aligned to the speedometer drum (02). The letters and the directional emblems on the original glass are engraved backside and whitened. The upper and lower white stripe support the illumination (03). The glass version with the speed reminder option has an additional scale which is printed (04). The setting knob here looks like a lonely bird flying in the sky (05). At the speed of 0mph the first green bar is just (not-) visible at correct setting (06). Up to 30mph the bar is GREEN (07), from 30 – 50mph turns to YELLOW (08), and higher than 50mph up shows RED (09). The assembly is shown in (10). On the exploded view, the rear metal panel in black and the colored tabs, green and blue for the light signals, are brought out (11). Finally, the correct and direct interchangeable Speedometer Scale in kmph, 0 – 180 (120mph = 193.08kmph). 200 is out of the range and would interfere with the Speed Reminder Scale. Compressing the scale to 200 to coincide to 120 needs a recalibration. For completing, the front chrome bar D O D G E (12). - SERGE - More options and printable templates will be presented in the thread “Make-up your car”.

Location: Newark, Texas (Fort Worth) | Absolutely amazing! Has 3D caught up now? I see YouTube videos of very smooth 'prints' from share ware or whatever it is called. It then can be molded in silicone and cast in wax and then molded in a plaster mold with metal like white bronze. You just need a vacuum bell, 3D printer, forge, kiln, silicone/plaster mold making equipment, wax dispenser, and skill. Marc. |

Location: SWITZERLAND | To your positive comment, Marc: There are new generations of 3D-Printers on the way, Multilayer-types. The first layer for fast basic build-up, the last layer for high resolution surface enabling direct plating. All the modeled parts here, generated as STL-Files, then can be produced at very low cost and high quality, for all 3D-Printing process is automated.
The most expensive part in time is the modeling. To get the templates accurate it needs the appropriate software, the know-how to work with, some engineering skills, and sometimes more time to get all perfect. But first an original part and the exact dimensions. Once it is done, it can be used infinitely as a standard printing template.
For huge quantity a molded part will still remain the way for lowest cost, by using an electro-eroded injection tool, built-up from a STEP-File. Looking forward to the coming years, everyone can afford dual rear antennas, D-500 emblems, Lancer Emblems. . . . ., in a nicer finish as NOS-ones (see picture). Unfortunately, up today nobody on this site, was in the position to support the modeling as presented in this thread. - SERGE -

Location: SWITZERLAND | Emblem FUEL Injection 58: A few month ago there was a thread about this, obviously very loved emblem, and very rare. Repros have been in discussion and attempts of modeling presented. As enthusiast of emblems then I modeled this part on the base of pictures, as no reference samples are available. Thus, all you see is by view and not accurate. The precice dimensions should be applied to this model, if one day disposable. Now I did some final corrections for present here. The rear of the emblem I have never seen, it is done as I would be the designer. Some details, Front / Rear View, may help as starter for those who will do repros. Anyway, an exceptional emblem, in reality nicer than just in 3D-RealView. Another challenging game! - SERGE - ;)

Location: SWITZERLAND | I found another Picture, downloaded from Danny/57burb (09). To get the emblem from CAD in Photoshop without any background: save from SolidWorks as PNG, in Options set “remove background” and the resolution. Then imported in Photoshop: place, resize and distort to fit on the picture (10). With the correct dimensions should look similar to Original. Just the light and surface settings are not optimal (11). To add: the overall shell is set to 1.6mm, as most other FWL-Emblems. - SERGE -

Location: SWITZERLAND | Hi Vince! I see you first time here - welcome on board of creative and multi-talented people. For the moment I do nothing with - it's just for fun. If the time has come (to have produced in 3D-Printing in High-Resolution for a shiny surface), I will realise some prototypes. For commercial or business purpose there are many good guys here who would care for. The basics are accurate 1 : 1 models in 3D-CAD as shown here. Now some try to go their own way - still waiting and looking forward to results to come. - Computer: 2 DELL Precision M6800 i7-4930 MX and two HD DELL Monitors 27" (2x 30" resp). Much less than a FWL-Car! Then no rust and dirty hands. The applied slogan: Not talk, but simply do-it and enjoy! - SERGE -

Location: SWITZERLAND | Knight DODGE 59: The 1959 Dodges have their own Knight style. They vary somewhat on the various emblems, due to different supplier at that time. After a few years I started a new attempt to model the 1959 Dodge Knight, based on the rear / side emblem found on most models. This one will then be integrated on all modeled emblems to come. And now finally here it is (01)(02)! A crazy exercise: 3D-Splines, 3D-Curved Surfaces, more a graphical than a geometrical modeling, realized mostly accurate. Overall thickness as original 1.6mm. here some details at no chrome for better view (03)(04)(05)(06). One day the Golden Knight meets the Chrome Knight (07), later on at a Private Party (08). - SERGE - :laugh:

Location: SWITZERLAND | Flower Emblem: This is part of the Rear Emblem, for all here working with older SolidWorks or any CAD Software: Open in SolidWorks (2013 up) the .SLDPRT-File, or import in any SolidWorks or CAD-Software the Parasolid-File .X_T, both as attachment. For animation additional an eDrawing-File .ERPT. Some pictures to look at, all done with this file in SW2013 (Original in SW2016). Pic 05 shows the simple creation of this Emblem (the guides and the planes/intersections): 1. Left Lower Loft, 2. Left Upper Loft, 3. Left Center Loft 4. mirror all for the right half.

Location: SWITZERLAND | Spinner DODGE 59: In addition to the first thread presenting the HubCap, now with the disposable Knight Emblem I can show the modeled Spinner, in Black and Golden (01). The rear side is done as well as the Original (02). In the partly zoomed view details become better visible (03) (04). Finally the assembled HubCap (05). As this is a ForwardLook part, the Knight has to look forward, to fit on left and right side of the car . Thus, all emblems to come will be as well for left and right side, and so the produced parts in 3D-Printing when ready. - SERGE - :) N.B.: In Front View the Assemled HubCaps appears somewhat different than used to be. This, because in CAD the Spinner is not reflected on the HubCap.

It would be a very cool thing to make the Knights mirrored for the left and right side - many would never notice, but a connoisseur would stop dead in his tracks and drool….. |

Location: SWITZERLAND | Rear Emblem (Deck Lid Ornament or Medaillon): This rear emblem is found as well on 1959 Coronets, here presented as model in the original color combination, in White (01). The Rear Views in flat mode for better visibility of the details (02) (03) (04). Here the Front View in Wire Frame for “play” on Photoshop (05). On an antique scale the original emblem shows a weight of 150g (06), in comparison to the model, material Zinc AS Cast, 165g (07). The difference is due to the constant overall thickness of 1.6mm , illustrated in section views of the model (08), whereas the original emblem is partly thinner. When golden plated the original white emblem looks more precious (09). My preferred color combs as on my (white) convertible is Gold-Red (10). The 1959 DODGE Coronet has two identical emblems, one on the left fender and one on the right fender, thus one knight looks backward. Here the two emblems for both forward-looking knights (11). Not a rare emblem, but awesome, here perfectly modeled. - SERGE -

Location: SWITZERLAND | Doctor DeSoto - 2019-01-07 1:32 AM Serge - I own a good condition example of the gold "star" piece of the Fuel Injection emblem. If I measure for you ? Send piece to you ? Will this enable you to complete the template building work ? Thank you for your offer (first!!!). For a real and original-correct model I need to check, when done, all corners 3D from edge to edge, and then correct the dimensions I initialy measured. Our eyes are very critical when comparing copy and original. Thus I will only start when I have the emblem in hand. Now I purchased and wait for the 1962 Chrysler New Yorker / Newport Grill Emblem, as I like it, just for modeling. And I do only when I am in the mood for do it. On pictures I met various Fuel Injection Emblems, the letters are somewhat different. Your example must not be nice, important the original one. Contact me on sermey at bluewin dot ch. Here I started the 1959 D500 Emblem: copy - move - mirror - resize the existing knight to the right position, model the numbers 500 as well in the right position (01). Later comes the body and the final details. - SERGE -

Location: SWITZERLAND | Bart_59_Dodge - 2019-01-06 11:19 PM The work is fascinating, but to what end? Does this mean the ability to reproduce parts in 3D, or what? I'm Jonesing watching all this work on the '59 Dodge Good Question Bart. As you stated, the 3D models offer the ability to reproduce these parts in original and even in better quality. Can be used for direct injection tooling by electro-erosion technology, for build prototypes by stereolithography, or done in 3D-Printing. All all items in 1 : 1 real size, without any dimension, just by a STEP-, STL- or Parasolid-File. As emblems are mostly rechromed, the surfaces of the new 3D-Print Technology are still not sufficient, or the fine edges may be removed by polishing. Only bigger parts, as the Rear Antenna Socket, would show very nice results. Best is producing, as original done, using an injection tool. The initial costs are quite high. At low quantities the part becomes too expensive. I did already some preliminary tests, but still not sufficient in quality for rechromed parts. Here a Push-Button, 3D-Printed with green filament (01), 3D-Equipment USD1000. Will present here samples as soon they become usable and affordable. The technology develops. For now, the existing models keep the quality all the time, can say a “long lasting conservation” of impressive designs. - SERGE -

Location: SWITZERLAND | 3D-Print Analysis: Depending of the layer height, the slices become more or less visible. The bigger the part, the roughness of the surface appear smoother. This is shown here by a 3D-Printing analysis, on a Knight of the rear emblem, and on the socket of a rear antenna, both 1 : 1, original scale. Applied layer height 0.2mm, 0.1mm and 0.05mm. The left side of the pictures show the resulting striaton lines, the right side the simulated surface as bump map. To smooth the surfaces, they can be fine sandblasted, then galvanic coppered, polished and final rechromed. Looking forward what will be the the reality . . . . - SERGE -

Location: Switzerland | Hi I am Dani from Zurich, and will most probably purchase a 1959 CRL D 500 next spring.
Just what I was looking for that Chevron Emblem. Could these be reproduced, so I could install that on the car ?
They can be nowhere found as originals!
Super great work. So in future all emblems could be reproduced
Dani - keep on going ! |

Location: SWITZERLAND | First 3D-Prints: Now the time is near for 3D-Prints at affordable costs and at a quality up to 10 micron for a rechromable surface. The first samples with my favorite, the Knight, at original proportions in transparent Resin (01). The rear side shows the mounting studs for M4 bolts. Then I resized the Knight, not proportional to give a wider aspect, and to fit the front curvature of the DODGE (02). Same resized Knight, just removed the Grille (03). The studs are designed to fit on the grill without any modifications and to be aligned (04). This is the initial 3D-Print of the resized Knight (05). The first check on the car gives a first impression (06). Of course, the Knight will be chrome and/or golden plated. For the CAD-Versions here I used satin gold. Satin Gold can as well be sprayed on the Knight for a low cost handling.
Most modeled parts presented here now can be produced by 3D-Printing at highest precision and at reasonable costs. - SERGE - ;)

3D printing with resin provides incredible details.
Serge, please show the results when you will have finished it with a suiting surface.
I think that no one will ever notice that this part was printed. At least from a usual viewing distance.
I am pretty sure someone already said it, but THIS is one key to the future of our hobby. Imagine not to rely on draining NOS supplies or wrecked cars to keep our cars on the road for the next decades!

Not sure how you created the 3D model file for the 3D printer. I understand that there are 3D laser scanners that can be used to create a printer file. Have you considered this?

Location: Germany | I experimented with photogrammetry and it is impressing what is already possible, even with freeware. BUT you will not get this quality from a scan.
You can use it to capture the shape and even the dimensions to a good amount, but it always requires manual post processing to get to those smooth surfaces and sharp edges.
IMHO that's the result from a good old caliper, patience and some imagination. |

Location: SWITZERLAND | Lancer Emblem: This Emblem is modeled throughout in Surface Technology, other than in usual said Solid Technology (01) (01a). By thicken a surface, here by 0.7mm, the surface body becomes a thin solid part. For 3D-Printing it will be filled to a solid body, shown before the electro-plating process (02). The Knight on this emblem is somewhat different then all others on the car, and the flower on the face is missing. Here I used my already modeled Knight, did some upgrade on the flowers edge (03a) (03b). As well the same flower for the panel, renamed to Dual Flower: insert – copy mirror down – resize non uniform, to get as well similar to the Original, then “connect” up / down with the collar (04). There are four basic components to create this emblem: 1. The Lance in satin gold (05 2. The Knight in satin gold (06) 3. The Panel in satin chrome (07) 4. The Dual Flower in satin gold (08) These surface parts positioned, trimmed to each other and getting then 6 parts (09) (10), merge them and the emblem is done. Not forget to deform in order to fit on the fender (11). Finally mirrored to get left and right, all golden anodized and the colors as on my DODGE (12). This Lancer Emblem, another outstanding brandmark of the DODGE 59 Custom Royal Lancer, now ready for 3D-Printing. - SERGE - ;)

Location: SWITZERLAND | 1962 Chrysler New Yorker Emblem: Out of the line I present how to model an emblem. As I like the 1962 Chrysler New Yorker Emblem I purchased once a time ago just for modeling, as it is easy to create. This as well to motivate others for doing the same when fascinated. First a sample in hand is needed! Then take a picture exact from front view. In Photoshop (PS) open the picture, set the canvas size according the emblem size: 177 x 64.8mm, and position/scale/rotate it to fit exact in height, width and horizontal with the help of some guide lines (001). Cut-out all around the emblem, create a contour line with the border selection tool (002), and save the two pictures as JPG. In the attachment add .JPG on the names to get the picture in real size, or too big here on screen! These pictures insert in separate sketches (sketch tool, SW2016). Now draw the lines along the parts and dimension to fix them. All this will be the MasterSketch to be used for position and create the 5 parts: Center letter C. Generated by “Swept Boss” to get rounded faces, along 4 contour guide lines and 3 intersections (start-mid-end). Only one quarter is needed, the others are mirrored horizontal and vertical. Then cut-out to get a “C” from the “O” (03). Upper Ornament. Use as well the contour, the borders are all done by sweeping to avoid any flat face. Left side done, the right side simply bay mirror (04). Lower Ornament. All similar to the upper ornament (05). Center Bar. All again, but swept in one and then cut-out in the center (06). Rear Black Base. Extrude the base contour in the original thickness (07). The Final Emblem. Apply some fillets where needed according the sample, check all dimensions (point to point with the measurement tool) and modify them to be correct. Now the 1962 Chrysler New Yorker Emblem is ready. Merged all parts to a single Solid Body it can be used for 3D-Printing! Good Luck - SERGE -

Nice work, but you missed the recesses at the top and bottom of the "C". I struggled with it and had to get help adding the upper recess to mine. Haven't done the lower one yet.

Location: SWITZERLAND | Modification on Letter “C: According the comment of Robert I did minor changes on the Letter “C”. As the emblem was done just quickly, not like the 1959 Dodge parts, some details not have been checked seriously. The upper oval guidelines I found on a too high position. When lofted the top, the “recession” then became bigger. Thanks Robert. As there should be no flat faces at all to appear authentic, no boss/extrude operations have been applied, as done on the presented model of Robert. Instead, all the bodies were created by multiple lofts. Here using 4 spline guidelines (in blue) and tree section profiles (in red) to generate the first quarter (01). This quarter mirrored vertical (02), and then horizontal. All fillets are variable and elliptical as is the emblem (03). Not forget that the top of the letter is curved (04), and that all emblem parts are joined to the backplane (D=2.5mm). The final letter “C” (05) is attached as eDrawing file. Another challenging “game”. – SERGE -

Location: SWITZERLAND | License Plate 1959 FLORIDA: For a Convertible I had the choice between a state where it “never rains” (. . . in California) or where is always “sunshine” (...in Florida). Being many times in Miami for business and holidays, obviously I preferred the Sunshine State. I found some nice original 1959 FLORIDA License Plates, especially to get all numbers and the various layouts. A flatbed color scan of the plate produces undistorted pictures in real size for the layout, and the colors of the paint then could exactly be detected. Of course after cleaning the surface to get the color combo as new. The size 303 x 150mm and the thickness I measured 0.8mm. Here my various original plates in isometric view (01)(02)(03)(04). Then two mounted plates including all numbers (05)(06), for those who like create their own configuration, by selecting, copying and paste. Thus I added a blank plate, front and rear view , keeping the background in black for easy cutout (07)(08). Finally the rear view of the first license plate (09).
Now the hobby can go on – with clean hands. – SERGE –

Location: SWITZERLAND | Golden Knight Emblem - King Size: Meanwhile the Knight Emblem was optimized to fit best to the front grille of all 1959 DODGEs, and now is ready for 3D printing. Here some CAD RealView pictures. The Knight was non-linear resized for a harmonic appearance (01). The face is bent according the center angle of the grille, 170deg (02). The length of the studs are cut to match the surface and keep a fixed distance (03). Finally, the surface of the resized Knight will be electro-plated in glossy gold (or chrome) (04). Mounted on the front grille it seems this emblem was always there (05). – SERGE – N.B. The realized Knight Emblem is shown in the thread “Make-up your Car” (to come).

Location: SWITZERLAND | 3D-Printed Rear Antenna Base: Multiple samples in material and colors, for identify, have been built for functional and mechanical tests (01) (02). The stress test without the antenna tube inside shows the weakest part of the base and gives a magnitude of the maximum load (03). Then the sheetmetal of the car will be somewhat bent! For functional test the Power Antenna Set is mounted on the car (04). The top end can be set according the original length of the original mast, here somewhat shorter (05). As the Antenna Base is black, the rubber looks as intergrated in one. Anyway, a compact and harmonic assembly. The final antenna base then will be glossy chrome electro plated. - SERGE -

Location: SWITZERLAND | Rear Antenna Base Glossy Chrome Plated: The most critical check of a surface is when it is glossy chrome plated. Any unevenness is reflected, also the roughness of the ceiling in my garage. All pairs, left and right, view from various angles, are identical (01). Here another dual side view (02). Beside an original antenna base on my car, a difference is hardly visible (03). The top nut will be relaced by a black TopFix, as the base is designed for. Can say, this is another perfect job! Not for puritans – they prefer originals, in pot metal and some minor pits! - SERGE - :laugh:

Location: SWITZERLAND | Thanks James for your kind comment. There are many tutorials available in the internet. With some applied samples of FWL-parts I try to provide some variety in this mostly mechanical oriented site. For me this is just as another game. As you may observe in my threads, there are minor interested guys to participate in this direction. Always pleased to read some encouraging words like yours. - SERGE - |

Location: SWITZERLAND | Door Stop: The mechanical function of the door stop is the same for 1957 – 1959 Plymouth / Dodge, may-be as well for other mopars. They all don’t have an intermediate door catch. To find solutions for this option, the disposable space and the function should be analysed by 3D-Modelling. The main part is the bracket unit (01). Built-in parts the bracket, a damping grommet, a retaining washer, and two stop springs fixed with a rivet (02). The bracket unit, inserted from rear, is lateral guided and free movable along the slot (03)(04). At fully open door, the damping grommet marks the end stop (05), can see the springs to trap the door (06). Not shown the hinge with the pin, entering partly in the door. Left and right door are identical, just mirrored. These CAD-views of a white painted car visualize the function, and helps for design a much-needed option - an intermediate door catch (07). - SERGE -
