The latest actual trends in process of design and production in automotive industry

Time of innovation cycle in automotive industry is being reduced thanks to increasing market competition. It is possible to follow this trend first of all by means of CA-applications in the design and production phase of product life cycle. Regarding to systematic shortening of design process and manufacturing, the main accent is put on application of CAD/CAM technologies for serial production of shaped-complicated parts. The aim of this paper is to show some aspects of actual trends in process of design and production in automotive industry.
