The construction of this model of the “D‑Tune Reactor” using plexiglass and aluminum involved several main stages:

1. Design and Cutting of Components

3D Design
The full perspective of the reactor is first modeled in CAD software such as SolidWorks or Fusion 360.

The outer dimensions of each coil body (red) and the aluminum frame (blue) are defined.

Cutting Plexiglass for the Coils
The red semi-cylindrical shapes (insulating parts of the coils) are marked on velvet or matte plexiglass sheets.

They are cut using CNC or laser-cut machines.

If precise curving is needed, temporary wooden frameworks are used for shaping.

Cutting Aluminum for the Frame
Aluminum profiles (top/bottom molds and columns) are cut using an aluminum saw or CNC milling machine.

Grooves and connection points (for bolts and rivets) are made according to the design plan.

2. Assembly of Coil Bodies

Bending and Gluing Plexiglass
Each semi-cylinder of plexiglass is turned into a complete cylinder using heat bending or by gluing the edges with plexiglass adhesive (methyl methacrylate).

Seams are smoothed with fine sandpaper.

Centering the Cylinders
A central pipe (coil core) made of aluminum or PVC is inserted inside the cylinders to stabilize the shape.

Internal spacers (aluminum washers or plexiglass rings) are used to maintain proper distance between the core and the outer body.

3. Construction of the Aluminum Frame

Assembly of Profiles
The upper and lower chassis are constructed from aluminum profiles and joined using bolts or aluminum rivets.

Middle columns are installed between the top and bottom chassis to ensure frame stability.

Painting and Finishing
The aluminum surface is polished with fine sandpaper, then coated with primer and finished with a blue baked enamel paint.

4. Installation of Coils and Final Details

Mounting the Coils
The red cylinders are fixed onto the chassis using aluminum bases and washers.

The square connection areas are secured to the frame with stainless steel bolts.

Pulleys and Supports
Lower axles (wheel-like structures) designed for moving the model are installed on the bottom chassis.

Small details such as pulley brackets (crossed wires) are simulated using cotton thread or red plastic wire.

Labels and Final Touches
The company logo (SIAGE) and labels are placed on a black base sheet.

All components are cleaned with an air blower to remove dust before final presentation.
