Development   Design & Surfaces

Concept development

In the concept design, we define the boundary conditions for a vehicle project.

  • Interpretation of basic dimensions and ergonomic regulations
  • Ensuring that guidelines and legal requirements are complied with
  • Creation of concept sections and 3D data in CAD

Studio engineers

Our studio engineers are the link between design and development.

  • Smooth communication for an innovative, comprehensive concept
  • Preparation of alternative concept proposals and competitive analyses
  • Data communication of virtual and physical model stands
  • Preparation of model inspections

Surfaces Interior & Exterior

With Surfaces we transform the design concept into technical implementation.

  • Vehicle surfaces of the highest quality (Class A)
  • In collaboration with designers and engineers, aesthetics and functionality come together.
  • High quality through consideration of design-relevant and technical aspects

Design draft

In the design phase, we build sketches into digital models.

  • First design drafts from the concept phase
  • In collaboration with designers and engineers, aesthetics and functionality come together.
  • CAS modelers and designers work together in programs such as Alias ​​or Icem Surf

Cloudmodelling®

Our VR experts have developed their own software solution that enables real-life work in virtual space.

  • Results from Cloudmodelling® compatible with common CAD systems
  • Joint form-finding in virtual space possible

Development  Body

We develop vehicle bodies for you from concept to series production in:

  • Steel construction
  • Aluminum construction
  • Hybrid construction

We generate virtual geometries using state-of-the-art hardware and software.

Platform/Hat

We offer:

  • Concept / Layout
  • Body in white
  • Joining technology
  • Drawing creation
  • Technical documentation
  • Package and mounting tests
  • Individual parts and assemblies
  • Prototypes and test vehicles

n addition to specialists for FEM analyses, designers, pre-developers, prototype builders, production planners and manufacturing technicians ensure the suitability of the vehicle for series production in coordination with our clients.

This means you get all services from a single source – from development to calculation to testing.

Equipment

  • Dash board
  • Panels on columns and doors
  • Center consoles

Plastic assembly parts

  • fuel flap
  • Radiator grille
  • Seals
  • Exterior panels
  • Moldings etc.

Bumper systems

  • Covers
  • Spoiler
  • Cover parts
  • Ventilation grille
  • Pedestrian protection measures
  • Plastic mounting brackets etc.

Doors and flaps

  • Door and flap structure
  • Gas spring connections
  • Opening aids
  • Seals
  • Covers
  • Aggregate carrier
  • Hinges and door stops

Development   Simulations

Simultions

Functional validation of components and systems.
Eliminating prototypes and hardware shortens development times, saves costs, and delivers long-term solutions for your products and ideas through early virtual design.

  • Build of complex FE models
  • Various numerical methods (FEM, CFD, MKS)
  • Mechanical analyses
  • Impact (crash, shock, contact)
  • Statics (stiffness, strength, misuse)
  • Vibrations (NVH, Modal, Shaker)
  • Flow analyses (1D, 3D)
  • Acoustic analysis
  • Thermal analysis
  • Service life and operational strength
  • Antenna simulation
  • Test support, safeguarding and material validation
