What if your dream sofa could be designed, tested, and visualized—before a single stitch is sewn? For over 60 years, Rolf Benz AG & Co. KG has redefined luxury #furniture by blending handcrafted German precision with bold, modular designs. However, in a world where customers demand endless customization and #sustainable durability, even the most skilled artisans need a digital edge. That’s why Rolf Benz adopted the #3DEXPERIENCE platform—to simplify custom design workflows, cut down prototyping time, and visualize photorealistic furniture before it’s ever produced. From concept to simulation, engineers rely on CATIA to create complex organic forms, while SIMULIA helps assess durability—reducing the need for physical prototypes. Enhanced customer experiences come through 3DEXCITE, where buyers can explore thousands of fabrics, leather, and configuration combinations in a virtual showroom well before production starts. The result is a faster path to market with minimal material waste by validating designs digitally, Rolf Benz shortens production timelines by 1–2 months without sacrificing its #handcrafted tradition. Dive into the full story to see how Rolf Benz is merging tradition with innovation - one stitch, one simulation, one satisfied customer at a time: http://go.3ds.com/HETl
