After weeks of hard work to build the car body, finally it pays off. The fabricating process for base body is finish and its was the first look of the real shape for our car body.
The laminating process is the toughest step we faced in the car fabricating process. Before we start the process, the drawing by layers and every measurement for each hole on the body should determined first.
First, we laminate the body separately before combine it in other laminating process. This is because the shape of base body is very hard to de-mould. In this process, we use several types of carbon layers. We were guided by the supervisor in the making process. To make sure the carbon layer is attach on mould, we apply the resin as a "glue" on each carbon layer.
All the pictures above show how the demould process were done. On this stage, we must be careful and always check there is no defect in the mould for the second times to use it. After the body completed, we will trim and do the finishing process. This is the final process and surely, we put a lot of time here to make sure our car body is really attractive and look beautiful.
This is a little explanation about our progress to produce a car body from the design on paper become a real car body in front of our eye. We realise, to make sure everything goes like planned, we must put a lot of effort. And this is a good challenge for our team to gain lots of experiences especially we get to involved directly in the actual industry working environment.
On behalf of team KencanaGen2, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia send our gratitude to Mr.Sam, our supervisor on laminating process, Mr.Affanul, our supervisor on design and programming for CNC milling process and Mr. Vinzenz Klapper, a practical student from Germany's university that helped us in every part of process of our car body.

After all the carbon layers are attached, we put a 'breather' - a cotton-like layer that function to suck the excessive resin in the carbon layer. Then, we cover all the layer and mould with vacuum plastic before we start the vacuum process. To make sure there is no hole on the vacuum plastic, we use a micro speaker to detect the sound from the small hole and put a double layer on the hole so that the vacuum process can be done successfully.
