Product Lifecycle Management Lab
The Product Lifecycle Management Labor meets the challenge of using Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) as a comprehensive concept to design products effectively and efficiently throughout their entire lifecycle. PLM provides an environment through processes, methods and tools to make product information available in the right time, quality and sequence to the right place, and to avoid waste.
Lab Offers
- Integrated design review with multiple CAD workstations and VR
- Visualisation of PDM metadata and product structures in VR
- Development of additional functions in CAx and PDM
Lab equipment
- Interactive planning tools for data management processes
- Software in use: Aras Innovator, SOLIDWORKS

Software
For an analysis and visualisation of CT and DVT data of different formats, we provide you with a free demo version of our viewer. It allows the import of uncompressed DICOM data, image stacks or RAW data. Furthermore, isosurfaces can be generated by means of marching cubes and exported as STL files.
(Attention: The resolution of the images is limited to a maximum of 512 x 512 pixels in the demo. A maximum of 200 layer images can be loaded at the same time).
Here you can find a collection of CT sample data: www.volvis.org
KTC Dicom-Viewer
Download Version 1.0.0.12 (.exe), Download Version 1.0.0.12 (.msi)
With the help of the KTC Dicom-Viewer it is possible to visualise layered image data with up to 200 layered images and a size of 512x512, 3D and export it in the form of an STL model. The KTC Dicom-Viewer requires .NET-Framework version 4.0. Windows 7 (64 Bit) and higher as well as graphics cards from OpenGL version 3.3 are required.
KTC STL-Viewer
Download Version 1.0.0.12 (.exe), Download Version 1.0.0.12 (.msi)
With the help of the KTC STL Viewer it is possible to import and visualise point clouds and triangle meshes in .stl and OBJ format. The KTC STL Viewer requires .NET framework version 4.0 or higher. Windows 7 (64 bit) and higher as well as graphics cards with OpenGL version 3.3 or higher are required.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact us. We will be happy to develop customised software solutions for your specific problem.

Virtual Reality Lab
The Virtual Reality Lab deals with the use of virtual reality and augmented reality as components of product lifecycle management. Virtual reality is used to visualise complex spatial structures and thus enables both the visual evaluation of a product (e.g. the design of virtual prototypes) and the simulation of assembly or maintenance processes. Augmented reality is used to link virtual models and information with the real environment. By means of mobile HMD systems, virtual data is superimposed on the actor's field of vision.
Lab Offers
- Service regarding conception and creation of VR scenes for product presentation
- Transfer of CAD models into visualisation models
Lab Equipment
In the virtual reality lab, various presentation and input devices are available for experiments. A powerwall in front or rear projection technology supports preliminary investigations, especially in large discussion groups. Sophisticated projects can be continued in a 5-sided CAVE. A 3D presentation room for up to 400 people and several AR systems complete the equipment.
Visualisation systems
- 5-sided CAVE with passive stereo projection system (polarisation filter)
- Oculus Rift (DK2), active stereo screen system (shutter)
- AR workplace
- Augment'able
- Study workstation Scott (ZEU 232B): HTC Vive Pro /Microsoft HoloLens
- Study workstation Scott2 (ZEU 232B): HTC Vive/Microsoft HoloLens
- Study workstation Scott3 (ZEU 232B): Oculus Rift S
