In this article, we'll explore how 3DEXPERIENCE ROBOTICS (part of the DELMIA MANUFACTURING software portfolio) improves efficiency, reduces downtime and cycle time, and maintains a continuous digital thread from design to production.
For product developers in the defense sector, the transition to structured cybersecurity requirements marks a significant shift in how projects are managed and secured. At the core of this shift is the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). Achieving compliance is not a simple self-attestation, but a tiered CMMC verification process that serves as a prerequisite for contract awards.
For decades, the standard engineering response to complexity was "break it down." If a component was too intricate to machine or cast, we split it into sub-assemblies. We added fasteners, gaskets, and weldments. We created sprawling Bills of Materials (BOMs) and accepted the "assembly tax", the inevitable accumulation of labor costs, inventory overhead, and potential failure points. In 2026, that math has changed. As metal additive manufacturing (AM) moves from the prototyping lab to mainline production, the most significant ROI isn't found in making parts faster, it’s found in making fewer of them.
Personalizing your 3DEXPERIENCE tenant can make the environment feel more connected to your company and help users feel “at home” in the platform. Two of the quickest ways to do this are by updating or changing the Platform Name and the Organization Title. Here is how to customize both.
By default, the measurement tool in 3DPlay on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform will display distance measurements with only the direct distance. But it can be helpful to see more information, such as the dX, dY, and dZ components of the distance (i.e., the distance along the X, Y, Z directions) in addition to the direct distance.
We’ve all been there: you attempt to pattern a feature around a complex curve, and your CAD software suddenly decides "not today." Patterning is often treated as a necessary evil, a finicky tool that seems to break at the slightest hint of a design change. Here are 5 SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE patterning workflows to get you started.
The default unit of measurement in 3DPlay on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform is set to millimeters. However, you can easily change it to inches or something else, but the setting to do this is a bit hard to find.
The 3DEXPERIENCE local cache is a folder that stores copies of files from the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on your computer for faster access, offline availability, and easy management. This folder is also referred to as a local work folder.
3DEXPERIENCE World 2026 wrapped up in Houston, TX, last week. In case you missed it, here's a recap of some of the key messages and announcements heard during this year’s event.
