The largest leisure vehicles manufacturer in the UK is utilizing the entire designing abilities provided by PTC to present its most recent model to the growing RV market, a report said.
Swift Group, which employs over 1000 people in its 100-acre headquarters near Hull is launching Basecamp 6 this month, the most sought-after crossover camping vehicle that is stylish, fun, and perfect for those who love to travel.
Engineers from the family-run company have been using PTC’s Creo designing software for a while now to introduce new features. They use the software’s simulation tools, piping and cabling, and advanced assembly to deliver a truly unique product.
“Our models undergo significant transition and Creo has enabled us to reduce rework in our factory, check design in more detail and take a thorough approach to ergonomics,” explained Paul Cunningham, Engineering Director at Swift Group.
“Another big step forward has been the way that people from inside and outside the business can engage with 3D models created in PTC software. Internal users that rely on them include senior decision-makers, members of the sales team, and employees from the factory floor responsible for building products.
“External users are typically dealers, who can interrogate Creo Illustrate to identify exactly the part they need to fulfill a customer’s specific requirements and then click through to an ordering system.”
He continued: “What it all means is that we have been able to deliver our most ambitious camper vehicle yet in the Basecamp 6…on time, to budget, and with all the stylish features and benefits.
“These include dual fuel combi heating, panoramic windows, plentiful storage, low energy lighting, along with two dinette areas that convert into bunk beds – the market expects.”
Similar to the touring caravans they manufacture, Swift Group has come far in the 57 years since it was established by Ken Smith, who built and sold his first caravan for £289.
The company today generates almost £270 million in annual sales. The company continues to focus on developing products that are designed and made to be of the highest quality.
