Background

 

Car bodies and aeroplane frames can sometimes be damaged during their services and usages. Some of these damages are in the form of small dents or deformation. Even during the manufacturing process, defects of this type may occur. It is desirable to remove these defects quickly and at low cost. Although there are some devices available in the marked and services provided by various industries to recover dents and deformation, a more convenient, low cost, home use product is not yet available. This project aims to design a portable dent/deformation recovery system that is practical to use and affordable by average income households as well as for the potential use by the motor and aerospace industries.
