Clay Milling Machine for Automotive Design Studios

High-performance studio milling for clay, foam and hardboard: Virtual and physical models should always reflect the same design status – down to every feature-line and curve.
Yet too often, digital model and physical reality drift
apart.
Deadlines tighten. Teams rush. Designers wait.
And the clay model – the very centerpiece of the
creative review process and cornerstone for design verification – becomes the bottleneck.
MillShape is a studio milling machine for clay, foam and hardboard that was created to change that.

MillShape integrates seamlessly into the creative automotive design workflow, supporting everything from early proportion models to the constantly evolving clay models and full size hard mill verification.

It is fast, reliable and always ready – the way a
true creative workflow demands.
