Case Study: Polaris accelerates vehicle design collaboration with Gravity Sketch

Polaris cuts clay-phase discovery with Gravity Sketch in a single-session review workflow

Polaris, a manufacturer of off-road and recreational vehicles, faced a challenge in its design process. The reliance on 2D sketches created a gap between a drawing and spatial reality, making it difficult to accurately validate proportions, ergonomics, and sight lines early in development. This often led to multiple rounds of changes and formal review cycles.

The solution was implemented using Gravity Sketch. Polaris integrated this VR tool into a new collaborative workflow, using it for 3D form development, real-time collaborative modeling, and AR overlay reviews on physical clay models. This allowed Gravity Sketch to transform from a design tool into an essential collaboration platform. The results were immense efficiency gains; ergonomics were validated at true scale early on, multi-round review cycles were collapsed into single sessions, and the clay phase shifted from discovery to execution, saving significant time and resources.
