Yamaha IT250           Fuel Tank Project Outline Forming groups of 10  multidisciplinary  students, a 1:1 scale model of the Yamaha IT250 fuel tank will be fabricated. As individual students, an aluminium skin will be created to adhere to the construction and detail of the model.  Objectives Model Construction   The creation of a 1:1 fuel tank template to assist with the fabrication process Pattern Fabrication   Compose a pattern or template which will provide a method of construction and reference for the aluminium skin Metal Shaping   Using the model and pattern as reference, shape and sculpt the aluminium to adhere closely to the construction of the fuel tank Documentation   Record the process of fabricating the Yamaha IT250 fuel tank 1  Model Construction The initial phase of constructing the model involved utilising Photogrammetry to digitally fabricate a 1:1 model. The required 3D model was created through Autodesk Recap, which compiled the range of p
