Problem
01A custom duct needed to clear surrounding components while maintaining a clean airflow path.
Automotive
Vehicle-specific duct designed around packaging constraints
Example path from constraint to manufacturing route.
Method
CAD / composites
Route focus
Reverse Engineering, Custom Automotive Parts, Carbon Fiber and Fiberglass
Proof summary
The work was reduced to evidence, route, validation, and repeatability.
A short view for buyers who need to know whether this type of constraint matches their own part problem.
Approach
02Vehicle constraints were captured, CAD built around fitment, and routes compared.
Validation
03Clearance zones reviewed in CAD
Result
04Custom component path prepared for prototype and composite production.
Inputs
- Vehicle model context
- Packaging and clearance notes
- Airflow and finish expectations
Constraints
- Tight engine-bay packaging
- Airflow path cleanliness
- Composite route considered after fit validation
Why this method
CAD and prototype validation came before composite tooling.
Manufacturing method
CAD / composites
Validation path
- Clearance zones reviewed in CAD
- Prototype fit check planned before final material route
- Composite path compared against heat and finish expectations
What made it hard
- Packaging space was limited
- Airflow and appearance both mattered
- Tooling too early would have locked in risky geometry
