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.”

S o l u t i o n• PTC Creo delivers easy, intuitive 3D modeling that enables

users to modify designs on-the-fly, enabling faster design

time

• PTC Creo Advanced Assembly (AAX) helps to easily share and

manage references at different level of assembly and create

product templates

• PTC Creo Schematics enables users to design P&I diagrams

and seamlessly integrate them with 3D Piping

• PTC Creo Piping and Cabling Extension helps us to quickly

create pipelines and reports

I n i t i a t i v e s• Shorten lengthy product design cycles

• Reduce manufacturing cost by digital

prototyping

• Easy re-use of data for new projects

• Faster creation of variants

• Validate design at the early stage to

eliminate re-works

R e s u l t s• Reduced design time by 25-30%

• Designed sheetmetal components faster

• Reduced re-works and scraps

• Created accurate manufacturing

drawings

• 3D Design information can now be

easily be referenced by other

departments
