Quick answer

DMIx is a secure, purpose-built platform for collaboration between brands, suppliers, and manufacturers. The digital handshake opens a controlled channel, the 3D material library keeps everyone on the same data, and digital lab dipping replaces physical samples with spectral precision.

Why seamless collaboration matters

In today's product development, efficient collaboration is the deciding factor. DMIx is built so brands, suppliers, and manufacturers can work together in a secure, structured environment, without losing speed.

The digital handshake: trusted partnerships

At the core of the DMIx collaboration model is the digital handshake, a mutual agreement that opens a dedicated and secure exchange channel between two companies.

  • Controlled access, you choose who collaborates
  • Secure, structured data exchange between approved partners only
  • Optimized collaboration, real-time interaction across companies

Five practical solutions for industry professionals

1. Digital lab dipping, speed without the hassle

  • Automated lab dip approvals based on spectral data
  • Real-time tracking of submissions and approvals
  • Seamless collaboration with suppliers

2. Intelligent color selection, digital precision

  • Instant access to supplier color libraries
  • Automatic color matching with spectral precision
  • Less waste, fewer unnecessary samples

3. Digital co-development, from concept to 3D prototype

  • Designers, developers, and suppliers on a single platform
  • Real-time adjustments from sketch to 3D prototype
  • Faster time-to-market with fewer physical samples

4. Digital supplier libraries, always current

  • 3D-ready materials with full metadata
  • All technical specifications in one place
  • No more outdated material catalogs

5. Spectral color adjustments, zero guesswork

  • Perfect color matches without interpretation errors
  • Full visibility across developments
  • Structured collaboration instead of email overload

A workflow revolution, not just another tool

DMIx is built for industry professionals who need practical results. The platform integrates with PLM, ERP, and the design tools you already run.

Frequently asked questions

What is the digital handshake?
A mutual agreement between two companies that opens a dedicated and secure exchange channel inside DMIx. Access is controlled and data only flows between approved partners.
Does DMIx replace our PLM or ERP?
No. DMIx integrates with existing PLM, ERP, and design tools. It adds the spectral color and 3D material layer that PLM and ERP do not natively support.
How does digital lab dipping save time?
Lab dip submissions and approvals run on precise spectral data instead of physical envelopes. Decisions happen the same day, not the same week.
