Automotive engineering services
From concept to production, SAVVINI develops vehicle components through 3D scanning, reverse engineering, CAD, simulation and prototyping.
Every automotive design and engineering project begins with research. We analyze the vehicle, product, technical requirements, proportions, references, materials and intended manufacturing processes to establish a clear design direction. This stage combines visual research, benchmarking and technical analysis to create a solid foundation for further concept design, engineering and product development.
Sketching is the first step in transforming research and ideas into a defined automotive design concept. We explore proportions, surfaces, body elements, aerodynamic components, interior features and individual product details through multiple design directions. Concept sketches help us quickly evaluate ideas before moving into detailed 3D automotive design and engineering development.
Our 3D design process transforms selected concepts into detailed digital models for automotive, transportation and product design applications. We develop complete vehicle forms, body kits, exterior and interior components, aerodynamic parts and individual design elements while maintaining the intended proportions and design language. The resulting 3D geometry creates the bridge between creative automotive design and technical CAD engineering.
High-resolution 3D scanning allows us to capture existing vehicles, body panels, interior components and mechanical parts with accurate real-world geometry. The scan data provides a reliable digital reference for automotive design, reverse engineering, CAD development, fitment analysis and custom component development. This process is especially important when designing parts that must integrate precisely with an existing vehicle or physical product.
Reverse engineering converts existing physical components and 3D scan data into accurate digital geometry suitable for further engineering and manufacturing development. We reconstruct surfaces, dimensions, interfaces and mounting areas to create usable CAD models from existing parts or complex scanned geometry. This process supports vehicle modification, replacement components, custom bodywork, tooling development and engineering projects where original CAD data is unavailable.
Our CAD engineering process develops design geometry into technically defined, manufacturing-ready components and assemblies. We work with NURBS geometry, Class-A and Class-B surfaces, solid models, mesh data, mounting systems, body panels, ducts, brackets and complex automotive components. CAD engineering connects design intent with real production requirements, including tolerances, assembly, material behavior, manufacturing methods and installation conditions.
Computational Fluid Dynamics, or CFD analysis, is used to evaluate airflow around and through a vehicle or component. We analyze aerodynamic behavior, pressure distribution, airflow paths, cooling requirements, drag and downforce to support the development of body kits, spoilers, splitters, diffusers, air ducts and other aerodynamic components. CFD allows automotive design decisions to be supported by engineering data before physical production and testing.
Finite Element Analysis, or FEA, allows us to evaluate the structural performance of components and engineering solutions before manufacturing. Structural analysis can be used to study loads, stresses, deformation, mounting points and the behavior of individual parts or assemblies under operating conditions. This helps optimize brackets, supports, body components, aerodynamic elements and other automotive structures for strength, weight and reliability.
Prototyping turns digital automotive design and CAD engineering into physical components that can be tested before final production. We develop full-scale and component prototypes for geometry validation, fitment testing, assembly checks and functional evaluation using 3D printing and other manufacturing processes. Prototype testing allows design and engineering changes to be made early, reducing production risk and improving the accuracy of the final component.
Master model development creates accurate physical references for mold making, tooling and low-volume component production. Master models can be engineered for manufacturing through FDM 3D printing, SLA, SLS, CNC machining of tooling board, MDF, foam and other suitable materials depending on the project requirements. We develop master model geometry with consideration for surface quality, assembly, finishing, dimensional accuracy and the subsequent mold production process.
Mold development converts the final component geometry into engineered tooling suitable for the selected manufacturing technology. We define mold structure, parting lines, flanges, draft requirements, tooling geometry and production strategy according to the material and manufacturing process. Tooling can be developed for carbon fiber, fiberglass, prepreg, vacuum infusion, hand lamination, compression molding, casting and other composite or polymer production methods.
Engineered mold data is transformed into physical tooling through appropriate manufacturing processes and specialized production partners. Depending on the application, molds and tooling may be produced using composite materials, CNC-machined master models, carbon fiber tooling or other manufacturing methods. We coordinate the transition from digital tooling development to physical mold production with attention to geometry, surface quality, dimensional accuracy and final component requirements.
Composite production transforms developed tooling into final lightweight, high-performance components for automotive and technical applications. We work with carbon fiber, fiberglass, Kevlar and other composite materials using processes including hand lamination, vacuum infusion, prepreg and compression molding. Each component is developed with consideration for surface finish, structural requirements, reinforcement, weight, mounting, assembly and the conditions in which the finished part will operate.
We look for the few decisions that make an object recognisable at a glance — and consistent at every distance.
