SEAT Design Center

ITP Group have just completed yet another successful installation at the SEAT Design Center (SDC) - a unique facility within SEAT’s Martorell industrial complex.

The scope of work included 6 off ITP Group HA 180 CNC Milling Masts for full scale physical modelling and an HA 360 Consul System, to have the capability of measurement and milling to CAD data for smaller scale development.

Officially opened in October 2007, the 5,600 square metre premises is located within the SEAT Technical Center and is one of the most modern and functional design centres in the world - and certainly unique in its class in Spain.

Created by and for designers, this facility brings the entire design process together under one roof, enabling the company to fully harness synergies in the fields of Research and Development (R&D) to give design, one of the defining features of the Spanish car manufacturer’s models, greater impetus.

This innovation centre is fully equipped with state-of-the art technology to further the creative process, from the initial sketch to the physical construction of the first prototypes.

Created and constructed around the creative processes within, the building first and foremost fulfils two basic requirements - functionality and privacy.

Thanks to its system of typically Mediterranean latticework, the building is endowed with abundant light, providing unbeatable working conditions as well as reducing energy consumption.

At the same time it is totally opaque from the outside, meaning that the shape of any new car may be seen only by its creators until officially unveiled.

The new complex – large enough to accommodate a hundred highly-qualified engineers, designers and modellers from all over the world– will serve as a breeding ground not only for the Spanish brand’s products; the entire Volkswagen Group will benefit from its services.
