Update from the Workspace

Posted in: Infinium, Updates|Tags: Carbon Fiber, Composites, Electrical, Engineering, Paint, Work, Workspace|By: umsolar|April 25, 2009

Classes are over and work is starting to pick up in the Ypsilanti workspace. Despite the large amount of work required this week to prepare for painting of the body, spirits are high and everything is coming along nicely. Today was windy and rainy, but thanks to one of our Base-X rapid deployment structures, we were able to work through the nasty weather and keep on sanding bondo.

Now that we are working full time in the workspace, more effort is being made to keep the space clean and organized. With the chassis successfully built into the body of the car, we were able to put away our long bulkhead layup plates and reclaim precious floor space. Jeremy Nash, on the micro-electrical division, spent a good chunk of the day organizing and cleaning the electrical work area. It hasn’t been so clean in quite some time…
