Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) is the apex Industry body representing leading vehicle & vehicular engine manufacturers in India. Through its Styling & Design Group, SIAM is committed to strengthening the Indian automotive-design ecosystem. A part of this effort is undertaken through the proper training and mentoring of students as well as practicing designers, digital & physical modellers.
Automotive Clay Modelling was identified collectively by Indian OEMs as an area with a gap between the supply & demand of skilled personnel. The importance of clay models in helping to visualize & sell concepts cannot be overstated and though the related skill sets are much in demand, their availability well below was is need by the industry be it transportation or product.
With the aim to address this gap, SIAM will be supporting MITID, Pune for starting an Automotive Clay Modelling programme. This programme will be intensive skill based programs which will have inputs in design fundamentals, form studies, technical design, digital modelling, materials and model making.
