Both, I want to model the concept and run simulations to see how different ideas affect angles of attack.
In British Columbia, Canada, we have some crazy motor vehicle rules about replacing OEM equipment with non-OEM. Some of the rules are so ridiculous that they actually make some aspects more dangerous. So most aftermarket bumpers that I can buy, even the ones made by Coastal Offroad (which is based in BC), would not pass a vehicle inspection.
After modeling, I want to use the model to generate the cut lists for a cnc machine that I can access.
I started with using cardboard and tape, but found the process tedious and time consuming. I'm much faster on the computer. I also use my truck on an almost daily basis, so taking the bumper off for a week while I play with cardboard cutouts is not an option.
Just thought maybe I would ask in case somebody else had done this already.
I did find a company locally that does have a 3d scanner with the resolution I need, but they want around 1k for each end.
For that kind of money, I could probably build my own 3d scanner... lol
