3D design brings vehicle bodies to life


Tosca Industries has always led the field in innovative vehicle body design. Now with new 3D design tools, Tosca can bring customers’ design ideas to life.

“We regularly talk customers through the design process. People often have a picture of that dream vehicle in their head. It’s getting it out of their head and into the real world that’s the challenge,” says Operations Manager Adrian Toscano.

While experienced at 2D drawings, this is the first time staff has used a 3D modeling tool.

“There is scope for great accuracy and attention to detail. We are able to show customers how all the toolboxes, shelves, drawers, steps, doors and ancillary equipment fit together. Working with the customer we can refine the design before we start to build the vehicle body,” said Mr Toscano.

Tosca Industries has seen an increase in vehicle body building efficiency since implementation of the new design system, which also allows the strength of parts and moving components to be assessed.

“We pride ourselves on our detailed product knowledge. This new design tool allows us to provide even greater customer service.”
