Maruti Suzuki To Showcase 'Making Of A Car' At Auto Expo 2010
The Maruti Suzuki 'Joys of Life' pavilion will, for the first time in India, showcase how a car is conceptualized, designed and then finally developed during the forthcoming Auto Expo 2010.
At the Studio Setup subsection, Maruti Suzuki designers will demonstrate the art of sketching various concept models. A designer tends to draw up to 500-plus sketches during the time between the first brief and up to the point where the design is finalized. This subsection brings to life this aspect in a car's life.
For instance, Maruti Suzuki designers churned out a few hundred sketches of A-star before finalizing on the particular design. A Concept vehicle - to be displayed at Auto Expo 2010 and a centerpiece at the Maruti Suzuki pavilion - had around 150 sketches on exterior and a similar number on the interior theme, before the final form took shape.
The selected design is then reproduced life-size in clay.
The adjoining area houses a 1:3 scale model of a Maruti Suzuki A-star - built in clay. The 3-D scale model is essentially a semi-finished sculpt in clay which highlights the detailing that goes into the making a car. The clay modelers will be seen chiseling away on the clay model, working on the detailing of the car. To add realism to the clay form, a foil wrap helps by bringing in elements of reflection as well as profiling detail to the model.
Clay modelers use a special variety of industrial clay that hardens at room temperature and softens when heated.
The design of the car is subsequently finalized from this clay form.
