Building a full scale flying Delorean Part 1: Making the bodywork

This is the first part of the full scale flying Delorean project where I make the complete bodywork out of EPS foam with the help of my ABB IRB6400 robot. After I got my robot to work again (see video here: ) I was looking for a first project i could make with it. At first I thought about building a type of sports car (maybe tesla roadster or similar) but then saw the “Back To The Future“ movie again one night and thought that would be a great project as well. The model would be made out of EPS foam so it would even be light enough to maybe fly. So i started designing the model and did some calculations and it turns out to be actually feasable. So the first part of the project is complete and the properties closely match the properties of the 3D-model, The 3D-model has a calculated weight of and the real life model has a weight of , which is only of few grams difference.
