Re: PESO - Sculptor
Hi Ken, Ford held a media intro for the new Lincoln design center Thursday and allowed cameras. The post-MKZ models were covered or transported to some other location. Nothing new beyond MKZ was shown, but it was an interesting presentation. Best, Pau On Oct 19, 2012, at 11:54 PM, wrote: > Nice shot Paul.

Re: PESO - Sculptor
I like that: hand tweak the clay then digitize and update the 3D model. I've definitely felt that recent all-virtual designs fell short of great hand-crafted designs of the past, and apparently I wasn't alone in that. Great article and accompanying shots, Paul.

Re: PESO - Sculptor
Hi Bruce, Some carmakers went to pure digital design, engineering build and prototyping a decade ago. Some, like Ford, eventually came to realize that something was missing she machines took charge.. Lincoln's clay models are roughed out by CNC machines but they're finished and tweaked by hand.
