How Car Models Are Made? (Mega Factories Video)
Clay modeling (or clay model making) for automobile prototypes was first introduced in the 1930s by automobile designer Harley Earl, head of the General Motors styling studio (known initially as the Art and Color Section, and later as the Design and Styling Department).
Industrial plasticine is a modeling material which is mainly used by automotive design studios. It was developed as an industrial version of plasticine or hobby clay.
Industrial plasticine is based on wax and typically contains sulfur, which gives a characteristic smell to most artificial clays. The styled object can be used to create moulds. However, largely because sulfur interfered with some mould-making processes, especially if clay surfaces are unsealed surfaces and platinum-cure Room Temperature Vulcanization silicone was used, sulfur-free variants are now available; these are usually much lighter than sulfur-containing clays.
More recently, clay models are 3D scanned into a digital file using laser technology. This is then opened in Computer-aided design software to be worked further. If a negative mold is required, this data is sent to a milling machine.

The tactile impression is very important. No other way to really make it 3D. In fact, textures should also be added.
Thank you for your feedback. What kind of textures?
@@engineeringworld. Surface qualities such as rough, ribbed, smooth, soft, flexible, waffled for the interior and possibly also for the exterior. Perhaps specially ribbed surfaces can themselves improve aerodynamics or water drainage on the outside. It is an idea to try / discover new possibilities. I am not an expert in car design.
Clay versus 3D printing: Clay is more ergonomic where the maker can see, feel, and explore and not just for the look but also how the created piece is fit for human use and if it can be manufactured and assembled.
This process is absolutely mind numbing!! What do they do with the clay models once the design has been approved?? The human imagination is the most powerful natural resource we have on the planet. Absolutely every aspect of this process was born out of the imagination. Incredible!!!
We typically recycle the model by reusing the foam and chassis underpinnings. If the foam is too old where the glue holding everything together is starting to separate, then we'll refoam the model, undercut it, repack with fresh clay, mill, and sculpt accordingly.
Note that it's not just a one designer who sketch it, it's a team of designers under design head who sketch for 5-1 year and then finalise design , then it goes to digital sketch , 3d , clay modelling and then engineering design
The jigsaw puzzles which we all solved right from our childhood days are manufactured with some great engineering behind them. Watch this exciting and informative video to learn more! Watch here: kzhead.info/sun/od2lddCreWuDnn0/bejne.html
I saw a picture where the person said that all those jigsaw puzzles are cut out the same. To prove it he put horse legs on a train. Was interesting.
The title should be..... This is how your dream car is made 😜
Hahah! Which is your favorite car and why?
Alias Autostudio used for the 3D CAD modeling? Nice video, BTW.
I am designer and i would love to make a car one day...
At the point of the internal reveal, I was hoping to see some mannequins or wax figures populating the car. It would be cool to turn this into an art display.
Shut up
How one person can do this kind of job? My daughter really need this kind of job regardless salary. Thank you!
Good information
Amazing
Nice job
Thank you for your feedback! Which manufacturing process do you like the most?
It's amazing
Thank you for your feedback. Which process you liked the best?
Clay can be added to
awsome
I wonder what software was used to make the Toyota probox
Microsoft Word 100%. That car looks like basic clipart from the 90s.
amzing
Sophisticated software like?
well, clay gives us skills like some change fast out design. printed models are solid and changes requires news models printed . think it, save hours and work with a simple clay sculping
1) how the heck did they fit the interior design into the clay model body? 2) how do they go from the clay model body, to the actual steel body?
3d scans of the clay body, finalized in 3d design software, sheet metal stamping dies developed.
So that's how Audi is designed. They start as BMW and if the design don't live up to standards they rebrand it as Audi.
Na broooo....actually they combined two videos.....they combined two videos because they expalined the process step by step....every company has its own uniquness
They keep it digitally as long as possible!
Feel in.
wow it so interesting videos ,thanks for your share ,And i hope that COVID19 will disappear from earth so everyone can return to...
I'd be fired on day one as I'd be too busy playing with the clay
모니터 일장기 뭔데?!
Hola diseñadores de auto solo sigan con la misma matriseria de aluminio el viento y el ambiente es normal del auto
Hola diseñadores de auto no gasten demasiado la matriseria del auto según el auto está todo en estoc si gastan demasiado se yega al fierro del armazón de la matriseria del auto y se prodisen choque lebes
I design cars, if anyone needs a new design. I'm working on one now that will be a cross between a 1966 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 and an AC Cobra. It will be a 4 cylinder front wheel drive configuration. A Hybrid and all electric would be forthcoming. The engine will be a 750 HP version of the Focus RS turbo. Lots of aluminum and carbon fiber should make the car see 200 MPH top end as well as 0-60 in
So you're telling me I don't have a cup holder in 530i is because he didn't sketch one in??? WTF!!!!
Looks more like chocolate !
It really does !
*wondered(past tense)
The guy sketched a BMW and the clay milling machine created an Audi. That’s a pretty lousy job.
was wondering the same thing 🤭
Note that it's not just a one designer who sketch it, it's a team of designers under design head who sketch for 5-1 year and then finalise design , then it goes to digital sketch , 3d , clay modelling and then engineering design. It's not a one minute thing liek shown in video , it's years of long process. There are also clay modellers who work their as job
"sophisticated design software is used" ---- Photoshop..
Well, at least it is photoshop cc 2021
Too.much noise from the people is very annoying and disturbing
Seems like it would be much easier and less time consuming to 3d model by software instead of clay. They clearly already had the chassis and base determined, if a detail is not right just tweak in software and print that specific part anew.
while 3d models can be used to simulate and digitally test the aerodynamics and more details... clay model helps to do the same physically. For safety issues, any company cannot just rely on computer generated data to proceed for many stages of production of the vehicles. This is a "Necessary" part of the process.
