Digital Twin
Simulate, optimize and innovate product designs and processes for more efficient, sustainable operations with the industry's most comprehensive digital twin.
What is a digital twin?
A digital twin is a virtual representation of a physical product, process or system used to simulate, predict and optimize a real-world counterpart. Using real-time data, simulation and modeling techniques, a digital twin mirrors the behavior, characteristics and performance of its physical counterpart. This empowers teams to determine the impact of different designs, conditions and scenarios in less time.
How can you use a digital twin?
Engineers, designers and experts across the entire product lifecycle benefit from incorporating this technology into their work. Some common uses include:
- Resource-efficient print and manufacturing simulation
- Sustainable product design and prototyping
- Digital asset management
- Smart supply chain monitoring
- Optimized, analytics-based performance testing
- Predictive business operations
