Arburg PLM Implementation: CATIA, ENOVIA, 3DVIA Composer
In brief: Case study showing how Arburg standardized on CATIA, ENOVIA, and 3DVIA Composer to accelerate product development and cut documentation time.
Case study showing how Arburg standardized on CATIA, ENOVIA, and 3DVIA Composer to accelerate product development and cut documentation time.
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.
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.
