Question
Hi,

I always wanted to know how cars are made with their great shapes. I mean, I understand they are designed in CAD software for best aerodynamics and all. But what I wanted to know in particular was how to they physically make the metal in those shapes (that too without it looking wrinkled or shabby!).

I saw a video on YouTube about the BMW manufacturing and they only showed them "plugging" the metal parts and welding them in place. What they didn't show is how they got those (exterior) shapes in the first place - with all the smoothness it has.

So, how do they do it?

Thanks
