The Japanese created a car frame made of wire that looks like a painting (5 photos + 1 video)

Japanese metalworking company Yamaguchi Seisakusho attracted a lot of attention by demonstrating its capabilities, creating highly detailed car skeleton that almost looks like visualization of the car in augmented reality.





If you have played mobile video games like Pokemon GO, then probably know a little about augmented reality (AR). This is the technology which visually enhances the real world with the help of computer images, actually superimposing digital elements on the real environment.

What you see in the photo looks like the product augmented reality. But in reality this design was made from metal wire. The pictures have recently gone viral Japanese social media: people just couldn't believe it was real image of a real object.



This car wire frame is the work of Yamaguchi Seisakusho ("Yamaguchi Seisakusho"), a high precision precision metalworking, located in Yoshikawa City, Saitama Prefecture, Japan.

Isao Yamaguchi, Senior Managing Director of the company, explained that the company made five of these frames specifically for automobile congress, held 10 years ago. It was unusual order, but the company's management treated it as a good opportunities to demonstrate the technical capabilities of the plant.

Frame cars were first designed with 3D CAD software (computer-aided design), then the parts were cut out from metal sheets using precision laser cutters. The metal wire was placed and welded around these "patterns", and then they were removed, leaving only a wire frame.





Interestingly, the "frame cars" did not attract much attention until 2016, until the customer returned one of them manufacturer. So amazing, seemingly painted design ended up in the Yamaguchi Seisakusho parking lot. Since then, her photographs surf the web and have even appeared on Japanese TV shows.



One of the five frame cars was recently re-engineered viral after being spotted in Niiza city, prefecture Saitama. The controversy surrounding its existence in the real world with renewed vigor flared up on Japanese social media.
