Arburg, a global injection molding machine manufacturer, implemented a unified PLM environment using CATIA for virtual design, ENOVIA for shared data and collaboration, and 3DVIA Composer for automated technical documentation. The approach reduced physical prototypes, enabled 3D-based cross-functional communication, and linked CAD data directly to procurement and spare-parts ordering. Results included faster time-to-market and lower development costs through standardized processes.

Key takeaways

CATIA digital mock-ups reduced physical prototypes and enabled rapid feasibility checks for custom orders.

ENOVIA provided a single 3D data source that improved collaboration across engineering and operations teams.

3DVIA Composer generated technical documentation and spare-parts lists directly from CATIA models, cutting manual effort.

Standardized PLM infrastructure doubled development-to-delivery speed while supporting modular machine configurations.

Integration between CAD, procurement, and ordering systems created a consistent 3D view of every component.
