Introduction
A drawing of an automotive body has some aspects and features that make it different from those of other industrial products, deriving not only from its technical characteristics and production technology, but also from the aesthetic appearance of its shape which plays a fundamental role in determining the commercial success of a car.
From a technical standpoint, the body includes the body shell and trimming which are primarily made by elements of reduced thickness, where the external surface performs usually aesthetic functions; this fact justifies particular development techniques.
