Increasing demand from North America led to the opening of a new factory in North Carolina, and in 2009 production moved to a larger factory closer to Christchurch.<\/p>\n<p>Originating in Ashburton, DesignLine\u2019s innovative hybrid bus designs have been successful in Australasia for many years. The recent success here and in the United States has required several new bus designs in very tight time-frames, and resulted in more work than their design team could comfortably manage.<\/p>\n<p>Ross Falconer, Engineering Manager at DesignLine\u2019s Ashburton Factory said \u201cWe simply didn\u2019t have the resources to cope with all these new designs being requested and keep up with the day to day work for expansion. Plus it was difficult and time consuming to find skilled people in the industry.\u201d[\/vc_column_text]<div id=\"ultimate-heading-80066a633c73bc32b\" class=\"uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-80066a633c73bc32b uvc-2701  uvc-heading-default-font-sizes\" data-hspacer=\"no_spacer\"  data-halign=\"left\" style=\"text-align:left\"><div class=\"uvc-heading-spacer no_spacer\" style=\"top\"><\/div><div class=\"uvc-main-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-80066a633c73bc32b h3'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}' ><h3 style=\"font-weight:bold;color:#0F204B;margin-bottom:30px;\">Solution<\/h3><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Their solution was to partner with Motovated Design &amp; Analysis, who were able to provide skilled staff and advanced computer aided design tools to give DesignLine the immediate and on-going support they need.<\/p>\n<p>Motovated\u2019s work started with using their CAD expertise to generate photorealistic rendered images of a DesignLine bus (Figure 1). These images were then used in DesignLine\u2019s international sales and marketing efforts, leading to several enquiries from various city authorities across the United States. Typically, each city has their own requirements, and so bus sizes, number of passengers, axles, suspension, air-conditioning capacities, etc., all have to be modified for each customer.<\/p>\n<p>Motovated were able to reverse engineer existing buses, using legacy 2D CAD data to generate complete 3D models of entire buses. These 3D models could then be more quickly adapted to create multiple configurations based on the customers needs.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-6a633c73bc343\" data-id=\"6a633c73bc343\" data-height=\"20\" data-height-mobile=\"20\" data-height-tab=\"20\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div><div id=\"ultimate-heading-94746a633c73bc351\" class=\"uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-94746a633c73bc351 uvc-841  uvc-heading-default-font-sizes\" data-hspacer=\"no_spacer\"  data-halign=\"left\" style=\"text-align:left\"><div class=\"uvc-heading-spacer no_spacer\" style=\"top\"><\/div><div class=\"uvc-main-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-94746a633c73bc351 h3'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}' ><h3 style=\"font-weight:bold;color:#0F204B;margin-bottom:30px;\">Results<\/h3><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]The synergy between Motovated\u2019s design and CAD skills, and DesignLine\u2019s expertise in bus development has produced outstanding results. A complete model of a bus structure and a full set of detailed production drawings can now be produced within 1 month following the release of a detailed specification.<\/p>\n<p>In early 2008 DesignLine starting manufacturing buses in North Carolina and are now working with many new suppliers. This creates added communication challenges. The ability to quickly generate clear drawings and e-mail interactive 3D models around the world means that design issues can be speedily resolved, reducing development time. Motovated also installed a system which allows the latest drawings and models to be accessed from any location worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>Ross said, \u201cPartnering with Motovated was definitely the right move. Their skill level is impressive, and they pump out quality work at a phenomenal rate. Finding such a service right on our doorstep has been invaluable in supporting our recent growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;
