3DEXPERIENCE is an integrated product development and lifecycle management platform developed by French software company Dassault Systèmes. It connects design, engineering, simulation, manufacturing and business collaboration within a shared digital environment. Target users include manufacturers, engineering teams, product designers and industrial businesses seeking to improve efficiency and product sustainability. Through virtual twins and lifecycle assessment tools, organisations can evaluate product performance and environmental impacts before physical production. Its main advantage is connecting sustainability decisions directly with engineering and manufacturing data, allowing companies to assess material choices, production processes and product designs without relying entirely on separate environmental reporting systems.

Core Features

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform integrates sustainability capabilities into product design and lifecycle management workflows. These include:

  • Product Lifecycle Management: Centralises product specifications, engineering data, bills of materials, documentation and design changes. ENOVIA applications provide version control, approval workflows and traceability across product development and manufacturing.

  • Lifecycle Assessment and Environmental Impact Analysis: Supports product lifecycle assessment through Sustainable Innovation Intelligence, incorporating environmental datasets from ecoinvent. Users can evaluate environmental impacts associated with materials, manufacturing processes and product designs.

  • Virtual Twin Modelling and Simulation: Creates digital representations of products and manufacturing systems, allowing engineers to simulate performance, test alternative designs and identify potential improvements before physical implementation.

  • Sustainable Product Design and Material Optimization: Connects environmental considerations with product engineering, helping teams compare material choices, reduce waste and design for durability, reuse, repair and recycling.

  • Data Integration and Workflow Management: Provides connections to CAD, ERP, MES and analytics systems through APIs and enterprise integrations. The platform also centralizes product data for DPP compliance, enabling real-time collaboration, traceability and transparency across the value chain.

Closing Insights

3DEXPERIENCE serves companies with different industrial sustainability needs. In February 2025, Volkswagen Group selected the cloud platform for vehicle engineering and manufacturing across Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche. In September 2025, pump manufacturer Grundfos announced plans to deploy it across its business divisions, supporting sustainable product lifecycle management and water technology development.

3DEXPERIENCE is available through cloud and on-premises deployments, with applications licensed according to user roles and requirements. Its broad functionality makes it particularly relevant to manufacturers seeking integrated product development and sustainability analysis, although dedicated LCA capabilities depend on the applications selected.
