Why Car Companies Still Spend Thousands on Clay Models

intricate: 복잡한
The details vary based on how intricate of a model it is.

finalize: 마무리 짓다, 완결하다
Depending on how many adjustments are made to the model, it can take a couple of years to finalize.

evaluate: 평가하다
It’s very difficult to evaluate proportions of a car on a screen.

aerodynamic: 공기 역학의
Clay models can also be useful for aerodynamic testing in the wind tunnels, where engineers evaluate a car’s drag or how easily it passes through the air around it.

ancient: 고대의, 아주 오래된
This doesn’t mean clay models are an ancient design method that hasn’t changed.

tedious: 지루한, 싫증 나는
malleable: 가단성의, 두들겨 펼 수 있는
An edit like this can be tedious, but using the malleable clay allows designers to visualize and make multiple changes with real-world proportions.
