BMW M3 2016 Measurements of the Trunk
BMW M3 2016 Measurements of the Trunk
(OP)
Hi, My name is Ebrahim and I am a student. I have been given the task of designing a trunk spoiler on a BMW m3 2016 model. I don't know how to get the exact measurements of the trunk is the only problem. I need to first create a 3D solid Model of the trunk in Solidworks and then design a spoiler. I have the stock 2016 trunk already on the way and have a concept in mind. I just don't know how to measure the curves on the trunk.
If someone would give me some advice on making a Solidworks model of the trunk so that I can create a spoiler. I have attached a picture of what the trunk looks like because I am still awaiting the trunk to come in the mail for measurements. This will just give you an example of the type of angles and curves on the trunk. Is there any tool that I can buy to measure the curves and geometries on the trunk? A tool that is like calipers or something for angles and curves. Please someone let me know how this can be done or point me to a tutorial of some sort.

Then spend a boring evening measuring the templates up with a ruler and generating a point cloud. That's where your process starts to resemble the real one, the job in SW is then to turn the point cloud into surfaces.
Bear in mind that you only /need/ to model the locality where your spoiler attaches. However I have a horrible feeling you are going to want to do the whole trunk. That'll keep you busy.
Using a less sophisticated tool i have drawn two of the templates on here

what kind of firm would I look for to great the 3D model of the trunk. I have an oem coming in.

Gary Pis should be able to tell you if they have scanned that BMW trunk.

Either that or I've outed myself and naive in the the world of auto body surfacing.
