# Commercial Virtual Twin

Turn one engineering-accurate Virtual Twin into every piece of commercial content your business needs — CGI, 2D and 3D — and connect it straight through to configured, priced and quoted sales experiences

## What is a Commercial Virtual Twin?

Product developers know the problem all to well. Creating marketing and sales materials that are visually compelling but still accurate to the latest design changes.

A **Commercial Virtual Twin bridges the gap** between product design and market-ready storytelling. By connecting your product design data with photo-realistic renderings, animations and interactive applications, Commercial Virtual Twins give you the **power to turn your product designs into highly accurate 2D and 3D** commercial experiences. These allow you to engage your audiences on a deeper level and set your innovations apart from the competition, all while staying true to the data behind every detail.

## One Twin, Every Commercial Experience

Product manufacturers must adapt quickly to market demands and keep their portfolio accurate and on-brand across every channel and market. The Commercial Virtual Twin gives teams **a single, engineering-correct source of product truth** — so content built for marketing, eCommerce, configurators or sales quoting is always consistent with what ships.

Built on the [**3D**EXPERIENCE](file:///C:/node/2293) platform, the Commercial Virtual Twin removes the disconnect between design and go-to-market. It replaces slow, one-off photoshoots and manual asset production with a repeatable content pipeline that scales from a single hero image to a fully configurable, price-accurate sales experience.

## Authentic Data, Shared by Every Stakeholder

Every commercial asset your organization produces should trace back to one place: the engineering master model. The Commercial Virtual Twin makes this possible by **connecting design, marketing and sales teams** to a single real-time product definition.

When engineering updates a design, that change propagates automatically to every downstream asset, whether it's a product configurator, a marketing render or a sales quote. There's no manual data re-creation and no risk of teams working from mismatched versions. Resellers, partners, agencies and internal teams all draw from the same authoritative source, which keeps every customer touchpoint product correct.

## Commercial Content Creation

The Commercial Virtual Twin supports content creation across three main formats, all generated from the same underlying product data. Because all three formats draw from the same Virtual Twin, your content stays accurate across every channel without added production overhead.

## Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI)

Generate photorealistic renders directly from engineering geometry, without the need for physical prototypes or photo shoots.

## 2D Digital Content

Produce catalog images, web assets, and marketing collateral that update automatically when the underlying product model changes.

## From Virtual Twin to Configure Price Quote

Extend your Virtual Twin to the point of sale. The Commercial Virtual Twin gives sales teams one source of truth for configuration, pricing and quoting — no separate, disconnected toolset required. Teams **configure products in real time with accurate visuals, generate instant, precise quotes** and rely on automated discount checks and full traceability. Connected directly to ERP and CRM, it scales across complex portfolios without slowing deals down — freeing sales to focus on customers, not manual quote-checking.

The result: your **sales teams spend less time on manual configuration** and quote-checking work and more time on the customer conversations that actually move deals forward.
