At the internationally important IAA automotive trade fair in Frankfurt 2019, AUDI has presented its new convertible model in a particularly eye-catching way: the Audi A5 40 TDI quattro is staged by two white giant hands. This staging makes the trade fair stand a special eye-catcher, to which we were allowed to make our contribution.
By order of the company Metron eging GmbH we made the two over 5m large hands out of FRP.
First, the oversized hands were milled from Styrofoam on a five-axis CNC machining center using the CAD files supplied. To obtain a hard surface, the Styrofoam models were coated with a 3 mm thick layer of FRP using the hand laminate process. To keep the oversized hands as light as possible, the entire Styrofoam was then removed from the inside.
To create a smooth and even surface, the entire area had to be filled, sanded, filled, sanded and primed. This was followed by a white matte paint finish. Good cooperation with the customer ensured trouble-free assembly to the customer’s framework.
