How car design works, start to finish
1) DRAWING AND SKETCHING
The very first design sketches are just rough drafts, and the main tools we use in these early stages are pencils and paper and also markers to highlight some of the contours.
2) DIGITAL DESIGN MODEL
The designers‘ visions and design data are put together in what is known as the Digital Design Model.
3) CLAY MODEL
This stage of the process is very interesting a full of artwork. Where a demo model of visionary car is been created with the help of clay and some color rapping on the clay.
4)INTERIOR & EXTERIOR DESIGN
Interior designers sketch and refine their models at the same time as exterior designers. They also work with clay in this process.
5)LIGHTS
The company supplied a large number of glass details for both the exterior and the interior, including for the lighting system.
6)COLOURS AND MATERIALS
Each member of Color & Trim, the team responsible for seat materials, interior details, body colours, etc. is responsible for a particular area, i.e. leather, textile, interior colours, exterior paints, decorative strips … materials and colours.
7)FINAL CONCEPT
Outside of the computer, up to this point, the car has never been in one piece. Designers and engineers can now look at a physical model of the car in its full form, interior and exterior.This is when engineering considerations for production begin to play heavily into the finalized, production design.
