The motor car industry subdivides the design process to separate the conceptual, visual, and package considerations from engineering evaluation and production. Vehicle stylists responsible for the early stages of the process are currently working without CAD in most companies, although the rest of the design programme uses fully integrated CAD. Because car design is evolutionary, it should be possible for car stylists to use CAD. Currently their methods of operation makes this difficult. Various companies and Coventry Polytechnic are investigating procedures for stylists to productively use CAD in a fully integrated design process. Although conventional engineering CAD may be able to contribute to the latter stages of the styling process, this will entail new strategies and techniques. For initial design sketching a new system will be required, probably along the lines of the system being developed in Coventry.
