Design and modeling :CNC and digital modeling are gradually replacing clay in the research and development

The body surfaces of many high-performance car models and racing cars are very complex, with a large number of subtle transition areas. At this point, the plasticity and responsiveness of clay become indispensable modeling tools.

Design and modeling: The introduction of clay milling machines has changed everything

Once, building a 1:1 clay model was a test of endurance. Piling up mud, finding symmetry, and fine-tuning, every cut relies on experience and insight. Especially when replicating the left and right symmetrical surfaces, it relies on line gauges, ropes, rulers, as well as countless back-and-forth movements and fine-tuning.

Balancing Speed and Precision: Clay Modelling in Contemporary Motorcycle Design

In the development of motorcycle bodywork, clay models remain essential. From early form exploration to final surface validation, they serve as both a tangible translation of design intent and the foundation for production tooling.
