From there, I assembled the two halves together with a few hinges, with draw latches to keep it closed and a handle for carrying.
Next, I scanned each of the tools I planned to store in the case and traced them in Adobe Illustrator. I exported to a DXF and made a 3D model of the foam with cutouts for each tool. I brought this file and some foam to the CNC Lab, where the supervisor helped me CNC rout the foam. With that complete, all I had left was to adhere the foam into the case, pop my tools in, and take some photos.
Due to a misunderstanding, I was not able to obtain the ball corners I modeled in time. I intend to print these and attach them over winter break.
