Automotive Mechanics – Bodywork and Painting

Description

At present, a car's bodywork is
something very different from a simple
metal frame
intended to house the mechanical assemblies and serve as a cabin for the
occupants. It is a high-technology product
within a cutting-edge industry, such as
the automotive industry. Its conception and design
depend on highly qualified personnel,
who use [specialized techniques and tools] to carry out their work
sophisticated computer systems.
The result of this symbiosis, of human and technical resources, is not only
to find the balance point between
deformability and rigidity, so that the
vehicle can adapt to all kinds of
situations, but also to achieve other
objectives, such as ergonomics, habitability,
accessibility and comfort.,
Ultimately,
it is about an integrated conception of
automobile, which facilitates driving,
maintaining the best readiness to
face any unexpected situation.
The intention is not for the vehicle user
to master emergency situations,
but rather to prevent them.
The automobile industry is in constant
evolution, which is evident
especially in the continuous development of
the bodies themselves. This evolution does not remain
limited to matters of aesthetics and design,
but also affects concepts such as
safety, stiffness, lightness and recyclability,
among others.
