Volvo Car Corporation (Volvo), one of the global auto industry's strongest brand, reveals that the Autodesk design and visualization software is the key to the success of You Concept car design. Full-function model concept has been launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show last fall.
Following the success of Concept UniverseVolvo at Shanghai Motor Show in April 2011 and then, Volvo design team is really motivated to further refine his idea and began producing a complete model of the interior within a few months to show in Frankfurt. The overall concept was created to demonstrate how the vision of the future of Volvo cars under new ownership.
By using Autodesk Alias software, the design team concept model is able to quickly create digital prototypes from initial sketches of the designers. It facilitates the team, to immediately hone and test the design on the PC monitor screen, helping to save time and maintain the integrity behind the original design concept. As a result, the designers were able to get the right choice for technical surfacing and visualization of the car as quickly as possible without having to start again from the initial sketches that resulted in reworking
Volvo design team accustomed to working with a very tight schedule, it is very common in this industry. Cars of today are becoming increasingly complex and sophisticated with a very high technical composition, but the producers are also under pressure to design more rapidly by reducing the cost of the required course. Such as Volvo, some manufacturers are also using Autodesk Alias developed to accelerate the design process from initial concept to class A modeling.
As part of the design workflow, Volvo also uses Autodesk Showcase software to visualize a more sophisticated idea. This allows the concept to be communicated with the management team and officials so that they can quickly understand what has been created. Although done in a very short time, the new concept is ready for Volvo are shown in front of prospective customers in an exhibition. The automotive media enthusiastically and described the car as "something good and beautiful", "something that gives new energy" and as "something amazing".
As a user of Autodesk software a long time, Volvo has recently become a Platinum Customer Support provides direct access to experts on Autodesk to promote two-way communication to help the future development of Alias software and other products.
