CERATIZIT will be presenting its digital twin technology at IMTS 2026, in the West building at booth 431900. Programmed and designed specifically for presentation at IMTS, the virtual display will bring tooling solutions and real-world industry applications to life, interacting with CERATIZIT’s Visual Twins simulation to demonstrate complete machining processes and tooling strategies in an immersive way.

Developed jointly with ModuleWorks GmbH, the CERATIZIT Visual Twin is not simply a CAD model or digital twin of a machine. It is an immersive, photorealistic machining simulation that brings processes to life with flying chips visuals and authentic machine sounds.

The programmed simulations will allow visitors to move from individual tooling demonstrations to complete industry applications. Guests will see CERATIZIT’s SilverLine, MonsterMill ISO-S, WTX UNI, WTX Quattro, HFC, and HFCD tooling applied to operations ranging from trochoidal milling and drilling to the production of oil-and-gas components, firearm slides, medical implants and instruments, aerospace parts and automotive components.

While impressive to experience, the Visual Twin delivers practical value by allowing manufacturers to evaluate tooling strategies in a virtual environment. Identifying potential issues before production helps reduce scrap, avoid unnecessary tool changes and maximize machine utilization.

CERATIZIT's collaboration with ModuleWorks has resulted in a powerful digital backbone supported by smart tools and automated, data-driven processes that deliver sustainable, resilient, and highly efficient solutions.

"As material specialists, we understand the value of every pound of tungsten and every part our customers produce,” stated Dan Cope, President of the Americas, CERATIZIT Group. “The Visual Twin will help manufacturers make better machining decisions on the front end, to save on materials and time. It’s also a complement to CERATIZIT's independent tungsten supply chain because in addition to raw material processing and recycling, we are taking a proactive role in conserving resources."

Visual Twins runs on a separate PC as a standalone software application. It works on consumer-grade hardware and runs in real-time.
