Delft University of Technology says it will use Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform in its experiential and lifelong learning programs.

“We’re proud to become the first 3DEXPERIENCE Edu Center of Excellence in the Netherlands. It helps us to meet the growing demand for skilled talent to lead the digital transformation and accelerated innovation for a wide range of industries, from aviation to maritime, and the smart and flexible automation of manufacturing,” explains Henri Werij, Dean Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at TU Delft. 

As a 3DEXPERIENCE Edu Center of Excellence, The University of Delft will develop programs bridging education and practice. Starting from September 2025, programs will engage university departments, applied science institutions and industry partners applying the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to relevant use cases.

Students will learn to work with virtual twins, supported by platform-certified instructors to help prepare them for future jobs.

“We're thrilled to welcome TU Delft and its SAM XL field lab into our 3DEXPERIENCE Edu Center of Excellence program. This partnership leverages our ambition to provide 3D UNIV+RSES that combine virtual twins, industry-driven AI, and real-world applications to prepare future engineers for the generative economy,” adds Elisa Prisner, Executive Vice-President, Industry, Marketing and Sustainability at Dassault Systèmes. 

“By co-developing programs with industry partners at SAM XL, TU Delft is helping close the skills gap and accelerate digital transformation. Together, we are shaping the next generation of aerospace excellence,”
