Virtual Machine Builder

Where digital models create reality

What is Virtual Machine Builder?

The future of engineering is digital.

Virtual Machine Builder describes the complete digital development and validation of machines – long before real components are built. By linking CAD, CAE, and PLC data with simulation and behavior models, a digital process space is created in which planning, programming, testing, and optimization can run in parallel and be reused.

This reduces development times, minimizes sources of error, and enables significantly more efficient commissioning – both virtual and real.

Result: A scalable, connected mechanical engineering process – digital from day one.

Twin Marketplace

Sharing twins. Protecting know-how. Accelerating development.

The Twin Marketplace is the central platform for exchanging validated IMTwins® and twins – developed by IMT and other virtual mechanical engineers. All twins on the marketplace meet defined quality criteria and are ready for immediate use – for simulation, virtual commissioning, or series development.

  • Standardized data structure
  • Licensing & access control
  • Integration into the XR platform
  • Reusable models for OEMs, service providers & partners

Coming Soon:

The first version of the Twin Marketplace will soon be available – as a secure and efficient hub for digital mechanical engineering.

Future with artificial intelligence

Data-driven. Adaptive. Ready for real projects.

At IMT, we use artificial intelligence to make virtual mechanical engineering smarter, more efficient, and more adaptable.
Our goal: data-based decisions, automated model adjustment, and predictive optimization – directly integrated into your engineering processes.

This is how we make AI usable for real projects – not as a concept, but as a tool. Data-driven. Reusable. Project-ready.

IMTwin®

The digital blueprint of your machine.

The IMTwin® is the central product of virtual mechanical engineering: a fully-fledged modular digital machine model that combines all relevant components – from geometry and control logic to use in virtual commissioning.

Each IMTwin® is:

  • CAD and CAE design: structured, kinematic, and ready for virtual commissioning
  • PLC program: fully integrated with address concept, safety, and logic
  • Bill of materials & documentation: complete, including user manual, CE-compliant, and standardized
  • Digital machine model: modular, tested, and ready for use

IMTwins serve as interchangeable, standardized reference models – they accelerate development processes, secure know-how, and create the basis for digital business models, for example through the Twin Marketplace. In short: the IMTwin® is not just a digital model – it is a complete product.

IMT’s commitment to the ecosystem

Sustainability through digitalization. Responsibility within the network.

As a technology service provider, we see it as our responsibility to actively contribute to decarbonization in mechanical engineering. By building an open ecosystem around digital twins, we enable, together with partners, more efficient processes, reduced resource use, and measurable CO₂ savings.

Our contribution:

  • Virtual tests instead of physical prototypes → reduces material consumption and waste
  • Less travel through digital approvals → saves emissions and time
  • Reusable IMTwin’s® → promote circular engineering instead of one-off solutions
  • Digital workflows across company boundaries → avoid media breaks and duplicate work

Our goal:

An ecosystem that makes a difference not only technologically but also ecologically.

Green by Design – together with customers, partners, and the next generation of developers.

Partner network

Virtually conceived. Built in reality. Connected together.

At the core of our partner network are two key roles: virtual machine builders who develop IMTwin’s®, and real machine builders who implement physical systems based on these digital blueprints.

Our contribution:

  • Design offices with CAD and CAE expertise
  • Automation service providers for PLC, safety, and interfaces
  • OEMs and end users who use or further process IMTwins
  • Software providers and research institutes driving innovation

Our goal is an open, powerful ecosystem where validated IMTwin’s®, know-how, and processes are shared – via platforms like the Twin Marketplace and in projects with clear quality standards. You develop digitally. You build physically. You connect technologies.

Then you are right with us – as part of a future-proof partner network in virtual mechanical engineering.
