In booth #431900, visitors will interact with CERATIZIT’s Visual Twins simulation created to demonstrate complete machining processes and tooling strategies in an immersive way.

Charlotte, N.C., August 13, 2026 - Programmed and designed specifically for CERATIZIT booth guests at IMTS, the company's visually driven digital twin technology will bring tooling solutions and real-world industry applications to life. In booth #431900, visitors will interact with CERATIZIT's Visual Twins simulation created 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. The company'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," says Dan Cope, President of the Americas, CERATIZIT Group. "The Visual Twin will help manufacturers make better machining decisions on the frontend 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.
