Virtual Assembly Cuts Nuclear-Fusion Reactor Build Risk

A fusion-reactor program used our VR assembly system to rehearse the build of one of the most complex machines on earth — before a single part was manufactured.

Tooling access, lift sequencing and technician ergonomics were validated in the digital twin, exposing risks that would have been catastrophic and costly on the real floor.

Virtual assembly turned an unknown build into a rehearsed, documented plan.

"Immersive, practical and vendor-neutral — that is how HYSIM approaches virtual simulation for manufacturing."
