Surface modelling cuts design time at Bentley
Article Abstract:
Bentley Motors is using three-dimensional surface modeling software designed by ICEM to make better quality designs in lesser time and this has helped in minimizing the number of design changes. The head of the company's concept design mentioned that they used Scan Modelling as well as Quick Surfacing tools in the software to achieve optimum results but detailed engineering of the car is still done using CAD/CAM software.
