Calum Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Interesting indeed. One comment, every engineering management system I've had to use has had multiple review steps along the design process. Even when we only need 1 review process, for a simple desigin, it's never the last process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S5 modeller Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) Very interesting so far. Looking forward to seeing more on the tooling development, as an ex tool maker and current cnc machinist, I find this side of it rather interesting. Matt.

luis pacheco Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 And what about the decals. What versions AMK will offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisov Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Loveley, thank you for posting, can't wait. Hope it is readily available in the UK shortly. I have had to get both my L-29 and Kfir from Hong Kong and both got hit by the Royal Mail rip off. Any idea of likely price please?

Calum Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Another question. How do you decide on the subject in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurent Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) Interesting but I think that the 3D design phase should be split in two. 1) overall shape (main dimensions, proportions, placements of elements relative to others, etc) The "skeleton", the basic model has to be declared ok first. 2) details and parts design: what has been posted already Edited May 11, 2014 by Laurent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sio Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Another question. How do you decide on the subject in the first place We may decide internally, but also have opinions from modellers. You got some suggestions for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
