How ZACOE does it ?

Once the model and concept are finalized, we source an OEM car and subject it to 3D scanning for the most precise digital model. This process involves using a specialized scanner to capture the exact shape and dimensions of the car's exterior. The resulting digital model then serves as a foundation for the design process. ZACOE’s work always includes sophisticated inner mechanisms and bolt-on fitment, which is why we require the most precise start. Each car typically takes over 40 hours to scan.

After obtaining the digitally scanned model, our designers hold brainstorming sessions and begin outlining concepts with hand-drawn sketches. These sketches are then transferred into computer-aided design (CAD) software, where ZACOE designers shape their boldest ideas in the digital realm. Once the draft design is complete, we test basic aerodynamics using various software applications. Technology is the key factor in how ZACOE achieves sophistication, unparalleled quality, and unexpected results.

After the digital model has been designed and tested, the next step is creating a physical prototype of the kit in ABS. This involves using specialized equipment, such as a 3D printer or CNC machine, to craft each piece of the kit. The prototype can then be assembled and tested on the car to ensure proper fitment and expected performance.

Once the prototype has been tested and any necessary adjustments have been made, the final step is creating the mold for the carbon fiber kit. This involves using the prototype to create a mold of each piece, which will then be used to produce the final product. The moldmaking process typically combines manual labor with specialized machinery, requiring a high level of skill and precision. The result is a sleek, lightweight carbon fiber kit that enhances the car’s performance and aesthetics.
