4×4 air-intake system
Keeping pace with a changing design
Making manufacturable parts in record time
The brief
Turning aerodynamic ambitions into buildable parts
The client had refined the aerodynamics of front and rear brake ducts, an air induction system, front bumpers, trims and body kits for a supercar and motorsport brand.
The next step was to turn those surfaces into parts that could be tooled, moulded and assembled reliably at production scale.
The approach
Building manufacturing needs in from the start
The client supplied computational fluid dynamics surfaces, which we mapped into our proprietary design engineering models, known as Power Copies.
Our models generate designs ready for manufacture and update them instantly as projects evolve. They allowed us to convert aerodynamic surfaces into injection-moulding-ready parts quickly, while building in fixation, location and assembly requirements from the start.
The result
Production-ready parts in just three weeks
In just three weeks, we transformed computational fluid dynamics surfaces into fully manufacturable part designs.
The result was strong tooling feasibility, simpler assembly, no costly tool slides and a programme that stayed firmly on track.
