- At Ford’s European Design Centre, cars become works of art and it is here that highly-skilled artisans sculpt the visions of designers and bring them to life.
Ford of Europe takes you inside its Clay Modelling Studio in Merkenich, Germany, and shows how its cars become works of art. Showcasing the 80-year-old clay design process and stunning work of its modellers, Ford places its design credentials on show revealing the artistry of automotive design behind every Ford model.
What tricks do these guys use to have the clay model perfectly symmetrical? I always assumed they only do one half of the car.
I am sure Ford's Clay milling department is over the moon with this video.
As a 5-axis Machine operator who specializes in clay milling at JLR, i would be pretty damn pissed if we made a video like this - completely forgetting about a skilled man's department to big up another
People compare it to 3D printing but it's actually the other way round : you work in the physical world, and then digitize it.
Clay enables several people to stand around a model and see requested changes being made.
great video, thanks for posting!
woow! Magnifique how transforme a sketch or a full of emotion and feel to a real product , a real cars
Nice work
Very very good
Fantastic!
This is so satisfying
I love Ford.
where can i get the clauy
She's so pretty
How can a man made model be perfectly symmetrical?
Who is here for school
👍JOSSS .... MANTAAP ☕
wah wong indonesia kwkw
which clay they use??
+Emanuel D is it polymer clay ??
because I have the polymer clay and it shows different reflection at different smoothing ??
They use an industrial type of clay that doesn't need water.
I'm interested to do job in clay modelling how to get a job in clay modelling
I know this is quite late but probably art and engineering
...............unless I work at Ford MC.... why in tha .... would I like this?
ford should sell clay cars, it wouldn't get as rusty as quick
This seems a bit dated to me. I like it, but surely this could all be done far more efficiently by going straight to CAD?
A computer actually limits me and it is very tricky when it comes to complex shapes I want to achieve
samfisher01 - I believe this is actually much more effective and actually cheaper. As the video said, they do eventually scan it into a computer program (for the second time). Shortly after this I imagine they are nearly at making actual cars.
I know all the US car companies still do this, and probably all the non US too that are large volume companies.
samfisher01 eh, designing a new car is a process that you want to be absolutely sure of before production. Being able to actually see the final product as a designer is extremely important, especially on a car. There's no way to know that the cool curve on the front looks horrible if your standing behind the car etc. Maybe vr could be a solution but for now this is perfectly practical.
i love this
Oil Base Clay
Süper bir çalışma
have you heard about 3D printing?
I love Ford but why not do it on a computer. Wouldn't it be more efficient and you could make changes more easily than clay?
They do both.
im gonna design a supercar in the future, stay tuned.
I'd love to help you.
Why can't they just get a big 3d printer??
Very inefficient especially from a financial sense. 3d printing doesn't allow changes to be made at will like clay does
Hiii
It's like car body filler
3D printer 😃
Wenn deutsche englisch sprechen 🤣🤣🤣
хрень это всё полная! Сегодня прототипы авто делаются исключительно в цифррвом виде без всякой глины и не в тех программах которые валяются во всемирной помойке и не на тех компах, которые в магазинах стоят.
I think i found out why ford isn't as good. its now a german company
CPT GAHM ARMA 3 germans build the best cars fool
Ford of Germany became Ford of Europe's headquarters in 1967, brah.
Give me a break. All the cars today look the same. Why you need all this trouble with the clay? Just take the cars of three competitors, do an average and then introduce a few very slight variations done digitally by a computer. The remaining clay donate it to nurseries or kindergartens in the area. The kids will be happy. Call the near Starbucks persuade them to hire these artists as baristas.
ford s-max spare wheel!!!????
