What is strak?
Strak was invented in ship and aircraft construction to build harmonically shaped and aerodynamic bodies.
The strak of a car describes all visible surfaces of interior and exterior considering all aesthetically styling aspects and technical requirements. In automotive industry strak is an well-established part in the product development process, because strak brings together the needs of all departments in this process and translates this into a 3D Class A model.
There are three main tasks for the straker to do:
- transform a finished styling idea (scan, 3D design model) under consideration of all technical requirements (of engineering, assembling, production, laws, ...) into a Class A surfaced production ready car.
- improvement of a technical-functional object with focus on aesthetical and optical aspects
- translate a 2D styling idea (sketch, e.g.) into a 3D CAD model

Example 1
Improvement of technical surfaces by changing the crowning of the surfaces and change technical fillets into curvature fillets.

Example 2
Improvement of gap principle by optimizing of flush condition and gap sizes and changing into curvature fillets.

Example 3
Improvement of gap graphic by changing the crowning of the main curves and give the radius a curvature connection.
