CAD
At Hydra, automotive design is a complete process that includes many different phases of development. While that process often begins with a simple sketch to outline a new vehicle shape, it quickly extends to the digital realm in the form of CAD (Computer Aided Design).
Using cutting-edge programs, Hydra’s designers are able to transform a basic sketch into 3D data that can be manipulated and adjusted to refine the design and simulate testing before proceeding to modeling and fabrication stages. Combining decades of automotive CAD experience and the latest in technology allows Hydra to streamline the new model development process.
Design surfacing
Hydra specializes in Automotive Design Surfacing. Often referred to as Computer Aided Styling (CAS), our team is unparalleled when it comes to OEM Automotive surfacing with a vast amount of experience across 30 years of OEM programs. The Hydra team are all experts in their fields, but our specialty is translating design intent into 3D. Part of our team includes several hybrid designers specializing in CAD that help bridge a seamless gap between sketching in 2D and translating those ideas into 3D.
