Week 9 - Project - Master Section Development

Master Section -

Master sections are the guides for design requirements which decide the component packaging after technical (Styling, Concept or Class-A) surfaces.

Following is the general workflow that is followed for the design and development of interior and exterior automotive trims in OEMs.

The styling and design teams at automotive OEM’s always walk an extra mile to make the best looking interior and exterior automotive trims. But, when it comes to engineering for feasibility study, there are various constraints that are not well thought and analyzed due to time constraints. As a result, the best-looking styling gets compromised in the production vehicle. Above shown workflow the initial activity of styling and Class A Surface modelling is done by the client and the rest of the activity is done by ASI with client representatives at every stage of development.

To support OEM’s overcome such challenge of delivering competitive and superlative quality automotive trims, we have come up with a methodical approach that focuses on the major selling points of the vehicle. The approach is explained through following 3 blogs:

1: Class A Surface engineering feasibility check & feedback.

2: Matching concept design in detail.

3: Master sections, Detailed Design considerations, B-Surface Modelling, Supplier Feedback & drawing release.
