Can a New Car Maker Really Deliver “Mass Customization”?  Yes.

If the mass production of Ford and GM ushered in the first generation of auto manufacturing, and the lean Toyota Production System ushered in the second, Local Motors is advancing the third with mass customization and micro factories (local manufacturing cells).

In this webcast, you’ll learn how Local Motors:

•  Engages a community of designers, manufacturers, and enthusiasts to build a shared vision for a new automobile
  
• Uses cutting-edge 3D scanners and reverse engineering software to bring designs to life faster, and more efficiently
  
• Quickly scans off-the-shelf components; creates CAD models for fit checks and virtual assembly; and captures the sweeping forms of the conceptual clay models from which the production tooling is made

Don’t miss this inside look into automotive mass customization, and the design tools that make it all possible.
