Staying relevant with customers and being the first to market with new color and material trends is a consistent challenge for automotive brands. A big hurdle is the time and materials needed to create physical prototypes when showcasing new colors and materials with complex appearance attributes. X-Rite’s advances in technology have made it easier and faster for automotive designers and visualization teams to develop accurate material renderings for stakeholder approval.
Capture, Store, and Communicate Digital Material Data
PANTORA is a cost effective and easy tool to create digital material twins using spectrophotometers that offer precision and accuracy. It is the first appearance software to provide a standard way to store and share all relevant appearance data, including color, texture, gloss, refraction, translucency, special effects (sparkles) and reflection properties. This helps automotive companies streamline the design and visualization process and speed time to market.
In this brief webinar, you will learn how to capture, store, edit, and communicate complex material characteristics, like orange peel and color flop, throughout the digital design workflow using PANTORA. Capturing material appearance data in a single, editable, portable file format is an obstacle in the visualization of products, especially when different formats are used in parallel. AxF is the first format designed for system-independent communication of digital appearance.
You Will Learn:
- What AxF is and how it streamlines digital material communication
- How an AxF file made with PANTORA and connected devices portrays the exact same optical characteristics as a physical sample
- How to make key decisions about color and material earlier and with more confidence, due to accurate material capture.
- How PANTORA standardizes storing, sharing, and communicating material appearance data - color, texture, gloss, refraction, special effects, and reflection properties - across PLM, CAD, and state-of-the art rendering applications.
- How to easily create your own digital material library
Watch now to learn how you can reduce design iterations by up to 2x, save millions of dollars on physical prototypes, and create a more sustainable workflow.
