The Design Process
Index >
The Italdesign Giugiaro Group – including the subsidiary and associated companies – encompasses:
  • more than 45,000 m_ of production space
The CAD systems use CV, I-DEAS - ICEM/SURF – UNIGRAPHICS – CATIA – EUCLID environments.

A specific collaboration is underway with Dassault-Systèmes for development and strengthening of a new CATIA module.

  • more than 1,100 employees
  • more than 650 CAS-CAD-CAE and CAM stations
  • 16 NC grinders
  • 12 presses of various tonnage
  • 6 laser cutting robots
  • 15 measuring and size detecting systems
  • 3 prototype assembly and construction lines

Today the company has a consolidated organization with five managerial sectors that handle more than 30 operating divisions to bring together the flexibility of the service with "state of the art technology", ensuring carmakers a comprehensive consulting service. All this makes the company able to perform the assignment of a complete programme – from definition of the style to pre-series assistance – as well as partial but no less important tasks, such as stylistic research, production engineering of body subgroups, building prototypes and experimental machining.

The design process is grouped into 4 macro areas of intervention: Styling, Engineering, Prototyping and Testing. The areas are autonomous but take a complementary approach to their work. This is why a Program manager is designated for control over every individual design.
