PLM Group Expands into Advanced Simulation

PLM Group, the largest Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS partner in Nordics and Baltics, acquires the Norwegian 3DEXPERIENCE reseller PLM Technology AS.

PLM Technology has many customers, within many industries, working with 3D product design and advanced simulations in Norway. Typically, customers use simulation to speed up time to market, improve product performance and quality.

“The customers and expertise of PLM Technology AS will accelerate our ambitions to become a leading partner for advanced simulation in the Nordic region,” Jan Lundström, CEO of PLM Group.

“The importance of virtual testing in product development will continue to grow and we will be able to offer both stand-alone solutions and solutions integrated in our 3DEXPERIENCE platform through SIMULIA and ABAQUS from Dassault Systèmes. We strive to give all our customers access to advanced simulation expertise. As a bonus with this acquisition, we are also expanding our CAD offer from SOLIDWORKS to also include CATIA”, says Jan Lundström.

After building PLM Technology AS for 17 years, Kjell-Ove Fredhjem is confident of his decision. “I entrust the company and our customers to a qualified, reliable and stable owner. Many of our customers already have a good relationship to PLM Group since they have SOLIDWORKS. ”

Fredhjem will continue to work with the new owners until the end of 2022 to ensure a smooth transition process and to support PLM Group’s development of an advanced simulation business.
“When merging, we will be able to deliver even greater value to all our common customers,” Kjell-Ove Fredhjem adds.

“It is great to see the continued investment and commitment to Dassault Systèmes, by PLM Group with this acquisition of PLM Technology AS” says John Kitchingman MD EuroNorth, Dassault Systèmes. “This really underpins their ambition to deliver Virtual Twin capability across a wider set of clients, industry and region, with clear depth of proven industry experience and technology skills.”

On paper, almost everything works. 🖊️ But the trut On paper, almost everything works. 🖊️
But the truth is that a lot of ideas never make it into reality.

Early on, @the_loopfactory saw that many companies lack the ability to take sustainable ideas all the way to production.

“Our role became to create a platform where innovation can happen faster without losing the connection to real-world implementation”, says Maria Ström, CEO.

Most projects begin with a customer concept that needs to be adapted to both material and production. The team reworks the design and develops the tools needed to actually produce it.

"SOLIDWORKS enables us to work more systematically with 3D modeling and design, allowing us to visualize and iterate solutions early in the development process."

In addition, they can 3D print customized tools, designed in SOLIDWORKS, that's needed in the production stage. All to ensure that sustainable ideas can be turned into reality and then scaled.

Just have a look at this lamp made from recycled textile fibers, developed, tested and designed for scale. 💡

Fast track through a virtual drop test 💥 We ran a Fast track through a virtual drop test 💥

We ran a virtual IK10 impact test (EN 62262) — the highest impact resistance rating in the standard. IK10 corresponds to a 20 J impact, created by dropping a 5 kg mass from 400 mm.

Using SIMULIA Abaqus, we simulated this drop onto a plastic test piece fixed to a test bed. The material model includes damage initiation and evolution, allowing us to capture not just deformation but how and where the part actually fails.

In the results, the orange region shows the plastic beginning to rip and degrade around the impact point — the exact failure mode IK10 is designed to expose.

This is the kind of insight you rarely get from a single physical test — but simulation makes it visible, measurable, and repeatable.

If you're ever working on your SOLIDWORKS model in If you're ever working on your SOLIDWORKS model in a tight space, you might have to use your track pad.
Knowing how to use the arrow keys to rotate your model can save you a lot of frustration. 😌
Did you know this trick?

Ever chased a perfect surface finish on a complex Ever chased a perfect surface finish on a complex part? This is where SolidCAM's simultaneous 5-axis makes all the difference.

You get a smoother surface right away with: 
Fewer finishing passes
Minimal manual work

Let’s just agree; The best finish is the one you don’t have to fix.
