Digital Design

High-Precision Alias-Based Surface Modeling Specialized in Automotive Seat Components

As the automotive industry enters the electric era, interior design has evolved beyond aesthetics to focus on emotional quality and spatial experience. Among all components, the seat holds particular significance—serving as the primary point of contact between the user and the vehicle, and representing both the product’s first impression and brand identity.

Muyamigo offers a comprehensive 3D digital design service, specialized in automotive seat components. Using the industry-standard surfacing tool Alias, we create Class-A level, high-precision surface models that align with our clients’ design intent and production requirements.

Our service goes beyond exterior modeling—we interpret surface flows, curvature logic, and production feasibility to transform creative concepts into production-ready, high-fidelity digital designs.

The Role and Importance of Digital Design

Digital design is not just about creating beautiful forms.
It is a high-level engineering discipline that must integrate conceptual design intent, structural logic, manufacturing constraints, and final product quality.

In seat component design, complex curvature and direct human interaction require precise handling of elements such as:

• Curvature continuity (G2/G3) and shadow flow quality
• Consistent volume, proportion, and line flow across the seat
• Seamless integration with adjacent parts such as trims, buttons, and inserts
• Consideration of moldability and formability—draft angles, undercuts, and parting lines
• CAD and production process compatibility from the early stages

With Alias surfacing, these elements can be finely controlled. In an era where digital quality determines product quality, expert digital design is no longer optional—it's essential.

Scope of Our Digital Design Services

Muyamigo provides full-cycle 3D digital design services for automotive seat component development, including:

1) Class-A Surface Refinement from Reference Models

We refine existing Class-B or reference 3D models into Class-A quality data using Alias.
This includes enhancement of surface continuity, reflection quality, and topology cleanup—delivering digital models optimized for both visual fidelity and downstream production use.

2) New Model Development from Sketch

When provided with 2D sketches or concept references, we create structurally viable 3D surfaces that maintain the designer’s intent.
Our modeling considers surface flow, proportions, and trim integration, creating realistic forms suitable for CAD and manufacturing transitions.

3) Detail Tuning and Feedback Integration

We operate in tight communication loops with our clients to iteratively refine details such as:

• G2/G3 surface continuity and curvature alignment
• Shadow line consistency and surface highlight behavior
• Parting line and joint transitions for moldable components
• Clearance and interface checks with adjacent parts

Our fast, accurate feedback response and collaboration skills are key to maintaining design integrity through repeated iterations.

4) Production-Aware Surface Modeling

Alias surface models must ultimately integrate into CAD or CATIA environments for tooling and manufacturing.
Muyamigo ensures seamless downstream flow by embedding production criteria early, such as:

• Undercut prevention
• Draft angle consistency
• Mounting surface definition
• Mold/foam forming feasibility

Digital Design Workflow

Our digital design process is structured into the following steps:

1. Initial Data Review
    – We analyze client inputs (2D sketches, Class-B models, concept images)
    – We extract design direction, key technical requirements, and constraints
2. Alias 3D Surface Modeling
    – We create precise 3D forms considering design flow, volume, and structure
    – Initial integration of subcomponents (e.g., trims, patterns, controls) is also considered
3. Design Review and Iteration
    – We conduct regular reviews with the client, using shared models or live sessions
    – Feedback is applied through controlled, trackable refinement cycles
4. Final Class-A Surface Delivery
    – We deliver clean Class-A surfaces that meet surface quality, reflection, and manufacturing criteria
    – CAD/CATIA compatibility is ensured for downstream integration
