Expertise in manufacturing production design since 1999.
For 25 years, we’ve led in 3D manufacturing simulation, turning global business ideas into reality.
Fastest way from concept to reality.
From the very beginning, we believed there must be a faster, easier and more collaborative way to design manufacturing systems. Today’s increasingly complex industrial landscape has shown that we are on the right path.
Designing new manufacturing processes and systems should be accessible to everybody. Collaborate, share and come to decisions faster, together.
Embrace digital transformation with our products, designed for a wide range of manufacturing professionals, from engineers to production managers. Make smarter decisions at every step of your production process.
We help over 2400 companies make their visions come to life.

Increase efficiency in your manufacturing operations with our virtual commissioning tools, enabling precise control over process performance through simulation and validation of designs with PLCs and robot controllers.
Save costs by up to 15%
Design many what-if scenarios in hours instead of days, have better insights into your projects, minimize your investment and save additional costs from your projects.
3000+ ready-made CAD components
Use our extensive library of 3D models with more than 1,600 robots, 70+ brands, and a wide range of conveyors, machines, resources, robot tools, factory facilities and more.
Reduce robot programming time by up to 80%
Program your robots more quickly and efficiently than with traditional manual programming methods. Test and optimize your programs before downloading them to the physical robots.
Maximize robot utilization by up to 95%
Optimize your robots’ utilization with fast and easy offline programming for tasks such as welding, material processing, or spray painting and eliminate robot downtime.
Enhance safety
Reduce the risks of accidents and injuries by programming heavy-duty industrial robots through offline programming software. Program from anywhere without any risk of robot collisions or physical accidents.
What our customers have to say
“Using Visual Components, we were able to achieve increased efficiency gains, reduced packaging and processing costs whilst helping our customers visualise how automation could improve overall production efficiency gains. It’s a game-changer.”
George Walsh
Senior Product Development Engineer
DHL
“We 100% saw a noticeable increase in positive feedback from the customer when we showed our results using Visual Components.”
Ben Graham
Senior Consultant
Invio Automation
“Previously, we were looking at around about 4 days to turn a proposal around, and currently (with the help of Visual Components) we can probably fire one out in about half an hour.”
Stephen Smith
Project Manager
Mazak UK
“Unlike with previous projects, the processes no longer had to be tested at the physical system. Instead, even the most complex processes were displayed reliably and quickly in digital form.”
Wladimir Krieger
Robotics Engineer
Wächter Packautomatik
“We use Visual Components for all projects that require a feasibility analysis or visualization. A picture is worth a thousand words – so we can offer our customers a much better idea of their planned facility. And our customers react very positively.”
Jo Braun
Managing Director
SAMSYS GmbH
