![]() ![]() Here are the elements and sections where scanning/printing have been used so far. The original S60 door handle cover (top), the original antenna cover (middle, marked up with scanning dots), and the antenna unit itself (bottom). Every few months, the Girl Gang team finds a new way to leverage this scanned data, whether just making judgements from the visual shape, extracting useful “as is” dimensions or using the converted STL file to print actual parts with their Stratasys F370 FDM 3D printer. Last year we scanned the entire PV544 body, as well as sections of both the PV544 and the S60. No wonder some design elements have been changing weekly.įor more than a year now, PADT has been privileged to assist with both 3D scanning and 3D printing on the custom build, as the group’s use of a digital workflow grows. Then add COVID-related delays plus the hunt for rare parts or parts that simply do not exist due to merging two radically different vehicles. Clearly, this is not your normal custom build. ![]() If you’ve been following this one-of-a-kind effort led by Bogi, you know she and her volunteer crew have been merging the body of a classic 1961 Volvo PV544 with the chassis of a brand-new 2019 Volvo S60 hybrid vehicle. Time for a major update on the Iron Maven Volvo custom-build project underway at Girl Gang Garage in Phoenix AZ. ![]() We figured this would happen, but it’s still pretty cool to hear Bogi Lateiner of MotortrendTV fame talk about 3D printing: “Total game changer! I’m SO on board.” ![]()
