Development of a new engine inlet
manifold of a car at FIAT
This case study is on the rapid
development of an inlet manifold for
an engine at FIAT. It reflects the
impact of RP on new design
procedures for enterprise
competitive advantage in terms of
cost and time reduction and final
quality of a new product. The main
value of RP approach comes out from
its complete integration with CAD.
In other words, CAD and RP are at
the core of the Rapid Product
Development.
