iguverse: the industrial metaverse of igus
We bring sales and engineering into virtual reality
Immerse yourself in the virtual sales and engineering world of the iguverse. Discover new and fascinating ways to save time, money and resources in product development, optimisation and maintenance. The iguverse will simplify your engineering! Use the iguverse as an efficient and user-friendly platform for sustainable product development and fast prototype production. Benefit from two main advantages:
- Advantage 1: distance no longer matters. Members from all over the world can meet as avatars in digital space and exchange ideas.
- Advantage 2: projects become clearer and more tangible from Day 1.
The first customers are already in the iguverse. Become a beta tester, too, and develop your machines and systems in the iguverse! Contact us and make an appointment now.
Experience the iguverse - with these videos and your personal tour
Simplify your engineering with the iguverse and develop your machines and systems in the virtual world using digital twins. Get started with the next generation of sales and engineering! The following two videos will give you an initial insight into this. Experience the iguverse live now and book an appointment for your tour through the igus metaverse.
Your advantages with the iguverse
The first customers have already joined the iguverse and are benefiting from two key advantages. Firstly, distance no longer plays a role, allowing members from all over the world to come together in a digital space, exchange ideas and work together collaboratively. Secondly, projects become clearer and more tangible from day one. The iguverse also offers you these other advantages:
Tech up
- A permanently saving and continuing virtual project space that the entire project team can use spatially as the basis for their work
- Greater safety by reducing risks
- Repeatability
- Faster integration into the production environment
- Optimise the quality of systems and machines
- Good data collection and analysis
- Understanding complex relationships and early testing
- Faster from idea to product
Cost down
- Cost reduction through simulation
- Saves time on site
- Minimisation of downtimes
- Reduce the risk of planning errors
- Save travelling costs
- Prototyping effort is eliminated or reduced
Proof
- During the installation of an igus e-loop on a drilling platform, important design changes ultimately meant that the product could not be installed as planned. If the assembly and installation had been simulated in the iguverse, these difficulties with the mounting bracket and cable guide would have been recognised at an early stage and could have been solved more efficiently. The virtual world would have made problems and solutions immediately visible.
Sustainability
- Reduction in travelling and travel times and therefore CO2
- Conserves resources: no need for costly prototype production
- Improves flexibility and adaptability of teams
- Increases employee satisfaction
- Can increase the effectiveness of teams
Further advantages and opportunities with the industrial metaverse from igus
Make your product development more cost-effective, effective and sustainable. Utilise 3D data from design and marketing truly "in 3D". Discover these and many other benefits, opportunities and more in our white paper "Industrial metaverse: how all SMEs can successfully implement it".
Next-level engineering
Implement systems and machines faster and more efficiently in the future
The iguverse enables the next generation of engineering - simple, efficient and fast! A possible application scenario for virtual collaboration could look like this:
"As an engineer, I want to optimise our prototype production and make it more sustainable. I explore the iguverse, an engineering platform in the metaverse. With VR glasses, I enter the virtual reality of igus, work on projects digitally and network with colleagues to save time, costs and CO₂, in order to visualise problems clearly and work out solutions quickly. I find 3D models for my applications in the right machine and industry world. Together with igus experts, I develop prototypes and carry out feasibility studies. Augmented reality helps me identify design flaws at an early stage. This also saves time, travel cost and resources. Colleagues and machine users can exchange ideas in the iguverse, practise and support service technicians with repairs."

Further possible applications of the igus metaverse
In the iguverse, customers, engineers, project managers and decision-makers will come together in future as avatars in the digital space. There, you use collaborative engineering to implement entire projects, from the idea to the finished product. Faster and smoother than is possible in the physical world alone.
- Plan machines, systems and vehicles.
- Find the right components quickly.
- Develop products digitally with igus experts.
- Get virtual assistance with repairs.
- Train customers or employees in the use of machines thanks to digital twins.
- Let 1:1 feasibility analyses with 3D models support you in product development.
- Identify weak points at an early stage and optimise your design - without physical prototypes, only with virtual commissioning.
- Present your company, your services or your products on our platform and save on your own metaverse developments.
References about the iguverse
Thanks to the collaboration with igus, we were able to present a virtual reality showroom of our laser welding and laser soldering portfolio at the world's leading trade show "Schweißen und Schneiden (Welding and Cutting) 2023" and thus increase the immersive interaction with the customer. We were able to show interested parties to scale how our products are used in the automotive industry and discuss questions directly on the use case.

Thanks to the digital twins of our lift systems and hydraulic garages in the iguverse, we can bring our products to life anytime, anywhere, and also show them in operation. This is hardly possible in everyday life, e.g. at trade shows whilst saving costs at the same time.Instead of investing in expensive trade show models, we can easily and flexibly integrate new 3D models in virtual reality and thus show much more even without a large stand area.

In addition to Siemens and Deutsche Bahn, the Cologne-based plastics specialist igus is also experimenting with the industrial metaverse. The resulting digital parallel universes could have a disruptive effect on sales, engineering and service, just like the introduction of assembly lines or robotics once did. I went straight into the iguverse and felt like the lead actress in James Cameron's not-yet-invented blockbuster "Avatar Industry".

We spent about an hour in the igus parallel universe, walked through cars with built-in energy chains and saw an energy chain in action on a virtual drilling platform. With our virtual hands, we were able to make the products larger and smaller and examine them in detail. igus is thus taking the first steps towards the metaverse in mechanical and plant engineering, and this has great potential for product presentations.

Discover our excellent iguverse
Experiment with the digital parallel universe of igus and discover the advantages of the industrial metaverse. Don't lose touch with the future of engineering. Test the new possibilities of virtual commissioning, digital twins and much more now - without having to bear the high costs of a VR infrastructure yourself.
Where will we be working in future? Maybe just everywhere?
Digital parallel universes not only captivate millions of fans of computer games like Fortnite. The metaverse also has the potential to revolutionise how businesses and customers work together. It seems as if virtual reality is growing out of its niche existence among gamers. Is that just a short euphoric trend or does the virtual world have what it takes to conquer other areas, such as digital sales, as a modern and customer-oriented channel?
See for yourself and immerse yourself in the iguverse now! In the video we show you how to do this in three simple steps: prepare VR glasses, set up VR glasses, navigate in the iguverse.
