exterior trim attachment for a vehicle called the Lotus Elise. The target Beginning of Semester Meeting/Scheduling 100% 01/22/2021
audience will be Elise owners who need a cheaper way to protect and fix
3D Scan of Lotus Elise 25% 02/12/2021
their vehicles. We will design a skid plate that can attach to the Elise

which will protect the “clamshell” and prevent further damage to the
vehicle.

Assumptions and Risks Accomplishments and Help Needed

Assumptions Accomplishments
1. Group members will be present at 3D scan of the car on 2/8 1. Set time for scanning Lotus on 2/8
2. Gained access to the Lotus on 2/8
Risks 3. Reached out to Eric for time to scan car
• If it snows we will not have access to the car 4. Met with our partner groups for our presentation
5. Gained valuable insight from our group meetings, namely:
- Make sure the product is unique from existing carbon fiber products
- Why is there no carbon fiber solution currently?
- What way can we produce the skid plate to increase strength? For example, rubber inserts to
dampen vibration
- Etc.

Help Needed
• Research to make sure that our product is going to be unique
