COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN/COMPUTER AIDED MANUFACTURING APPLICATIONS IN CAR BODY DESIGN
The computer-aided design applications became widespread at first in the Research and Development of ALFA ROMEO in the early seventies. This brief presents the most interesting applications carried out in the computer-aided field with special reference to the design activities in which the processed and developed data are essentially of graphic type. The use of the computer-aided design developed in three different moments: the first features the setting up and development of a specific software directly inside ALFA ROMEO; in the second, hardware and software tools externally realized were used; the last moment, at present under way, is characterized by the basic target of coordinating the constantly increasing diffusion in the various areas of application with the ever more developing integration of the different tools available through working methods and processes utilizing their potentiality to the utmost.
