The fuel tank we choose is  Custom tank for a CB550: Andrew Wallace, which has a multiplication factor.   Step 2: use the file and software to create a template. In this step, we use Slicer for Fusion 360 to make the 3D model to be an assembled template with multiple 2D plans. When we get the 2D plans, generate the 2D sheets to pdf and then use Adobe Illustrator to set the factors of laser cutting. Laser cutting     Step 3: Assemble. After we get all template sheets, we assemble them carefully. Assemble finished fuel tank template. Stage B: Dividing the part of model. In this stage, we are going to divide the model to 3 part so that we can do our third of fuel tank indivi
