Prototype & Test You Automotive Design Before Committing to Production
GET QUOTE

Within the automotive industry, the malfunction or failure of a component can lead to catastrophic consequences. As such, it is essential to fully examine and evaluate any new part or product to determine whether it performs as intended before it is available in the market. For these operations, prototypes are ideal. At MetaMetry, we have extensive experience prototyping and manufacturing automotive parts as we utilize rapid prototyping techniques to produce high-performance physical prototypes designed and built to pass some of the most rigorous verification and testing procedures available. Automotive concept parts give tangible form to new designs. They fill diverse purposes : aesthetics and ergonomics design validation, function, safety and durability tests as stand-alone or in a test mule for manufacturing process validation and customer testing. Car manufacturers, OEMs and special service providers call on our combination of traditional and high-tech production capabilities – an alliance of precision tools, fine-finish and additive manufacturing – to deliver prototypes, small series and tooling.

 

Automotive Prototypes

We produce prototypes for many interior vehicle parts, such as the steering wheel, dashboard, or console. By utilizing rapid prototyping, interior parts can be tested for various aspects. For example, steering wheels can be evaluated for their grip, dashboards can be verified for color, and consoles can be assessed for the amount of wear they show after use. The results gathered from these tests can provide insight into whether a design needs alteration. The exterior parts we prototype include bumpers, headlights/tail lights, and door handles. Exterior part prototypes are generally tested for safety, such as how the bumper holds up in a simulated crash, how the lights perform in low light or rain, or how the door handles function with repeated use. Safety testing, such as failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA), can also be performed on exterior parts to evaluate the risk of failure in both everyday use and extreme conditions.

VR in Automotives

Using augmented reality, we produce realistic rendering of vehicle designs with exploded view capabilities to have a better feel on what goes where. From virtual showrooms to elaborate research and testing scenarios, virtual reality is starting to make its mark on the automotive industry. OEMs can enhance the safety of self-driving cars manufacturing by performing testing in virtual reality. Such capabilities can encompass client VR application, a database and web administration platform. With VR, there’s no need to spend time and effort on the complicated process of building bulky physical prototypes. Virtual prototyping also simplifies research and development, speeds up the design process, and reduces the number of adjustment rounds, thus significantly cutting the costs on the entire pre-manufacturing cycle.

Concept Cars

A deep understanding of automotive design and technology is an indispensable and significant part of the skill set required to make fine large scale model cars. With our knowledge and experience in hand, it has been only a small step to bring our finishing, engineering and digital skills to bear on the creation of Show Cars and Concepts at full size. Much of our work include motorsport, performance cars and wider worlds of design and industry for legacy rosters as we collaborate with designers, engineers and manufacturers. We aim to maintain a deserved reputation for deeply exploring the brief with our clients to take the model rendition of their designs to the highest level.

Model and Display Services for Automotive Designers and Manufacturers

MetaMetry exploits the potential of digital design processes: Design model construction and rapid technologies are faster, more effective, and better quality. We combine simulations and virtual/mixed reality with top-notch, manual model and prototype construction. We have long employed digital scanning, CAD design, CNC machining and 3D printing. We continue in our quest to create ever more precise and accurate models, exploring and embracing the leading edge of every appropriate technology.These can be used to ``tangibly`` optimise the series development process. As a result, development processes become more dynamic and our customers save valuable time.

MetaMetry allows you to make the most of your resources. We offer flexible services that are tailor-fit to the requirements of your specific project. Hire the talent you need for the tasks you need completed — no more, and no less. Whether you need an engineer to help design your system and/or part, a 3D modeler to hash out your ideas, or a product designer to help you with the design process throughout, we'll work with you to pair you with the services you need.
