What are 3D UNIVERSES?

3D UNIVERSES are not a new product — it’s a new level of ambition. It’s how we bring together multiple interconnected virtual twins, powered by AI, within a secure environment, so you can develop innovative products and services faster, more efficiently and more sustainably.This ambition takes shape through three product categories:Virtual Companions: Industrial AI agents that work alongside your teamsGenerative experiences: Turning AI into everyday productivityVirtual Twin as a Service (VTaaS): Bringing your virtual twins to you wherever and however you need themAll of them run on the 3DEXPERIENCE agentic platform, which orchestrates thousands of AI agents at scale.

How do I get started with 3D UNIVERSES?

Industrial AI shouldn’t be applied everywhere at once. It works best when you start where the value is highest and the pain is sharpest. How can it apply to your industry and your priorities?If you’re an existing customer: Reach out to your usual client account team contact to schedule a dedicated exploratory meeting.If you’re new or unsure: Fill out this form to contact us directly. If your company works with a reseller, feel free to mention their name in the comment section.If you’re ready to purchase: Visit our online store to purchase pre-packaged solutions.

What are Virtual Companions?

AURA, LEO and MARIE are autonomous industrial agents natively integrated into the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. AURA covers business functions, LEO engineering and manufacturing and MARIE science. When you express an intent in natural language, with a photo, scan, drawing or file if needed, they will reason, plan and carry out the work, rather than simply answering it.Virtual Companions cover the full 3DEXPERIENCE portfolio: Aerospace, automotive, life sciences, energy, consumer goods and more.Learn more about our Virtual Companions here.

Where is my data hosted and how is it secured?

Your data is hosted in the geographic region and cloud operating model selected for your service, based on your regulatory requirements, sovereignty expectations and sensitive data protection needs. Depending on the offering, this may include an international, sovereign or dedicated cloud environment deployment.The Virtual Companions’ intensive computations run in dedicated AI factories. All data exchanges are encrypted and protected through continuous network monitoring, identity and access controls and threat detection.Where supported by the service architecture, data used for AI computation is processed transiently and is not retained in the AI factory after processing. These technical and architectural safeguards protect your data throughout its lifecycle. Applicable certifications and hosting conditions are specified for each service and region.

Industrial AI for Virtual Twins

Turn Generative AI Into Industrial Performance

The industrial landscape is no longer about incremental improvements; it’s about reinvention.

The question is not whether you adopt AI, but how you deploy it at scale, with precision and within a system that ensures real-world impact for your business.

Dassault Systèmes’ industrial AI provides the answer: A unified, intelligent and sovereign agentic platform where virtual twins and generative AI work together within 3D UNIVERSES to redesign how industries operate, compete and win.

Ready To Build Your Industrial Advantage?

Identify your core processes, apply generative AI and aim for improvements by a factor of 10:

10x
faster design cycles
10x
fewer errors in critical processes
10x
better scenario planning
Stronger
supply chain resilience and faster response to customer needs

AI Grounded in Science, Trusted by Industry

Dassault Systèmes’ industrial AI understands the science, operational constraints and business goals behind your industry. At its core are industry world models: AI that doesn't just generate predictions but understands, simulates and optimizes your real industrial systems, combining the generative power of AI, the precision of the physical world and decades of industrial expertise, all in a secure environment.

Data Protection by Design

Your data stays protected throughout its lifecycle — hosted securely, encrypted end-to-end and never retained after processing.

AI Reasoning

Able to learn and recognize patterns to support faster decision-making.

Scientific Models

Based on the laws of physics, chemistry and thermodynamics that govern the true behavior of the real world.

Industrial Know-How

Backed by 40 years of industrial knowledge, workflows and best practices, built alongside world-leading industrial companies.

Pick the Process, Prove the Value: A Scope-First Approach to Industrial AI

Put AI to work where strategic value is highest and operational pain is sharpest for improvements by a factor of 10.

If engineering speed is your edge, AI should help you design faster. If manufacturing is your strength, it should cut scrap, lift quality and shorten ramp-up. If supply chain resilience is your weak point, it should model disruptions before they hit the factory floor.

None of that works unless you connect your processes, your virtual twins and your AI companions into one system: The 3DEXPERIENCE agentic platform. With full system context, results aren’t incremental; they’re transformational. That’s the value of 3D UNIVERSES.
