Case Study

From Repetitive Configuration to Faster, Smarter Custom Design

PL Custom Body builds highly customized ambulances. As they transitioned fully into SOLIDWORKS, engineers were spending too much time configuring standard variations instead of focusing on specialized design work.

By implementing DriveWorks Pro to automate configuration directly in SOLIDWORKS, PL Custom Body standardized repeatable design tasks while maintaining full customization capabilities.

DriveWorks enables them to:

  • Automatically configure body length and height
  • Drive custom properties and weldment-based geometry
  • Generate assemblies and framing drawings automatically
  • Output accurate dimensions for purchasing and vendors

“We would like to eventually transition driving all purchasing from our models and use DriveWorks for quoting projects.”— Shawn Casebolt, Engineering Lead, PL Custom Body

Results:

  • Less time spent on repetitive design work
  • More time for engineers to focus on custom features
  • Consistent, automatically generated drawings and assemblies
  • Faster handoff from design to purchasing
