Masterclass - Motorsport Design Parametrisation
with Daniel Vass (Surface Design Engineer)
About the event
Using an F1 car as a real-world example, this session will demonstrate how parametric surface design allows engineers to efficiently generate, control, and evolve multiple aero concepts from a single, well-structured model.
Presented by Daniel Vass, this masterclass will show how professional surface designers define parameters, relationships, and constraints to transform design intent into flexible, production-ready geometry, while maintaining surface quality and engineering robustness.
Whether you’re a CAD modeller, design engineer, or motorsport enthusiast, this masterclass offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at how top-level motorsport teams use parametrisation to accelerate concept exploration, improve consistency, and make informed aerodynamic design decisions.
Daniel will also tell us about the CAD Career Accelerator Program – don’t miss this chance to engage in a discussion with a Formula One engineer and build your network through this event!
