Stylistic design engineering (Sde) framed inside ides (industrial design structure) to conceive a new future citycar

Given the general subject “Automotive Design” as starting point of the research, it was decided to focus the present paper on a particular segment of cars: the A segment, which is usually known as City Car. Before even starting to research about the City Car world, it was scheduled the work phases in a general way and after that, organizing time week by week to be sure it wouldn’t be run out of time before the complete ending. A Road Map was used as a graphic method to better visualize the path to follow during the project, in order to stay focused and always know and be ready for the next step. Two major moments were identified: a project set up, followed by the project development. The Project Set Up includes some preliminary analysis, to better understand the environment in which it is operating, only then it was be able to start focusing on the concept for our new car. Once defined the entire concept, and all the requests that should be to satisfied, the budget was outlined, instrument needed to cover the costs of design and production of the entire car. The Project Set Up comes to an end after the last phase of styling, which include a series of propositions concerning the aesthetic of the shell. Next, the developing of the project was taken on. This phase includes the 3D modelling via software, followed by the optimization of the model concerning the aerodynamic and the overall form. Once all the details concerning the 3d model were defined, it was time to proceed on prototyping the entire car via additive manufactory
