3D Simulations for Improved Manufacturing Processes
It’s no secret that today’s manufacturing landscape is fierce, and companies are constantly being asked to do more, with less. However, a recent survey states 72% of manufacturing companies have lagged in the implementation of technological advancements.¹
This gap highlights a significant shortcoming: more companies need advanced, reliable solutions to meet increasing product demands and navigate disruptions like global pandemics, weakened labour markets, or economic recessions. This is why Tri-Mach is investing in cutting-edge 3D simulation technologies to optimize production processes and enhance customer experiences.
What is Manufacturing Simulation?

Manufacturing simulation is an emerging technology that empowers companies to create digital models of their systems. These models, often referred to as 3D simulations, enable businesses to experiment with and optimize their systems in a virtual environment. These simulations bring design drawings to life, allowing them to interact with realistic material loads, the same as if they had produced a physical system.
Comparing Simulations vs. Digital Twins
While both simulations and digital twins are invaluable in modern manufacturing, they serve different purposes. Simulations rely on calculated or assumed data to test and optimize processes in a controlled environment, ideal for initial design and testing phases. Digital twins, however, are real-time digital replicas of physical systems, continuously updated with live data. This allows for ongoing monitoring, predictive maintenance, and adaptive optimization, making them perfect for complex, interconnected systems requiring continuous improvement. At Tri-Mach, we leverage both 3D simulations and digital twins to achieve the best possible results
The Benefits of Simulations & Digital Twins for Manufacturing Projects
Boost in Production Efficiencies
By implementing simulations into system design processes, companies are seeing a drastic increase in productivity, with some reports indicating a 70% boost.³ By simulating various production scenarios with realistic physics, materials, and layouts, companies can identify bottlenecks, test new configurations, and enhance overall efficiency without disrupting actual production.
Enhancing Customer Experience
Tri-Mach’s new 3D simulation capabilities significantly enhance customer experiences. These tools allow clients to view a virtual representation of their products, enabling informed decisions and adjustments before the manufacturing process begins.
This level of transparency and collaboration ensures that the final product meets exact specifications and expectation’s. At Tri-Mach, our expert consultants empower customers by providing a clear and interactive visualization of their machines, fostering confidence and involvement in the design process.
Optimizing Production Processes
The implementation of manufacturing simulation goes beyond visualization; it is also about optimization. By simulating different production scenarios, clients can identify potential issues and inefficiencies before they occur. This proactive approach allows clients to streamline operations, reduce waste, improve overall productivity, and reduce risk.
