DMG MORI creates its best machines 2x faster with PTC Solutions

DMG MORI is a global manufacturer of machine tools, turning centers, lathes, and ultrasonic and laser machines. You’ll find its products on shop floors everywhere under the DMG MORI SEIKI AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT brand. German and Japanese tradition, precision, and technological leadership are behind all of the company’s broad product portfolio.

“By using skeleton models, layouts, the parametric family of parts, simulation, and cabling features, all within PTC Creo, we quickly went from concept design to detailed model, minimizing expensive physical prototyping. That allowed us to be more flexible in the ideas we explored.

The pace of innovation we reach today is only possible with PTC Creo and PTC Windchill.”  Michael Trenkle, Design Engineering

S o l u t i o n• With PTC Creo Simulate, users

evaluate 3D digital models before physical prototyping and testing

• Using top-down design, engineers evolve a subassembly concurrently in 3D, load the changes to assess daily progress, and identify/resolve issues instantly

• Integration of PTC Creo and PTC Windchill increase team productivity

I n i t i a t i v e s R e s u l t s• Reduced the mass of moving parts

by 50% and increased the static mass, resulting in better stability, long-term precision, and lower overall energy usage

• Cut number of physical prototypes needed to produce a superior machine

• Shaved 16 months off release cycle. Machines now travel from concept design to production in 14 months.

• Validate and review designs continuously, ensuring fewer miscommunications and last-minute changes
