3D Modelling

As Stadco designer themes evolve from ideas into more robust solutions, Stadco's engineers are creating 3D hard point models respecting occupant ergonomics and vehicle package aggregates such as powertrain, wheel envelopes, etc. This hard-point model will form the basis of the 3D surface model.

Although Stadco's facility still supports clay modelling, the design team use digital modelling tools such as Alias and IceM Surf to create 3D concept models.

The benefits are:

• Faster development time
• Less manpower / reduced cost
• Data shared with engineering earlier
• Higher accuracy
• High quality renderings
• Animations

Stadco's designers are also proficient in Alias 3D modelling ensuring that concept models lose nothing in translation from designer to modeller. This supports Stadco's aim to deliver simulation led, fast-track development programs.
