Volvo Cab

Volvo use IDC for interface design of tractor cab interior

Volvo
Cab interior

Brief: To take a styling concept of the dashboard and interior compartments and develop 3D models and engineering CAD data to enable the components to fit to the existing cab superstructure, and to develop the parts to be suitable for rotational moulding production.

Process: IDC took Volvo’s initial cab interior design, updated and rationalised the design to create component parts specific to a rotational moulding process. Included in the development was an update of the production line process to assemble each part into the cabin. Liaison and developments were with Volvo staff in both Sweden and France

Achievement: IDC refined the design aesthetic of the cab interior, integrating well engineered rotational moulded parts into the cab superstructure. Following the development programme IDC produced full size production patterns in house, using our CNC machining facilities and the pattern making skills of our modelmaking team.
