Unity Verified Solution
Build industrial digital twins in Unity
realvirtual turns Unity into an engineering platform: CAD in, behavior simulated, real PLCs connected – one twin from sales pitch to running machine.

Unity brings what industrial 3D has been missing: real-time rendering performance for large scenes, a mature editor, and deployment to Windows, Linux, macOS, WebGL, mobile and every major VR/AR headset from one project. Machine models with thousands of parts stay interactive – on standard engineering PCs, with no GPU farm, no data center, no streaming infrastructure.
And because Unity is an open ecosystem with C# scripting, your digital twin is never locked in: you extend it with code, assets and interfaces instead of waiting for a vendor roadmap.
realvirtual is the Unity-verified framework for industrial use: updateable CAD import (STEP, 3MF, JT via CADLink; native formats via Pixyz), drives and sensors as behavior models with acceleration, limits and timing, deterministic kinematics for closed chains, robot inverse kinematics, and material flow with sources, sinks and transport surfaces.
The controller side is built in: 25+ industrial interfaces – Siemens S7 and PLCSim Advanced, Beckhoff TwinCAT, OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus, EtherNet/IP, robot controllers from KUKA to Universal Robots, and FMI/Simulink – all on one PLCInput/PLCOutput signal architecture.
The same Unity model carries you through four stages: sales and concept simulation, virtual commissioning against the real PLC, integration testing with MES, and finally the 3D HMI on the running machine. Build once, reuse everywhere – no rebuilds between departments.
Delivered applications are royalty-free on every platform. And as open GLB, your machine models and documentation additionally reach customers in the browser – free, no installation, no account.
The free, open-source MCP server hands AI agents like Claude or Cursor 150+ tools to work inside the Unity Editor: create components, wire signals, move drives. Because realvirtual ships with full C# source code, the AI understands the framework from the very code you read.
The result: from CAD model to a fully wired virtual commissioning model in record time instead of days – with the AI backend of your choice.
Yes. Unity delivers real-time performance for large CAD scenes and deploys to desktop, web, mobile and VR/AR from one project. realvirtual adds the industrial layer – drives, sensors, kinematics, PLC interfaces – and is an official Unity Verified Solution.
realvirtual Starter is free on the Unity Asset Store (including the Siemens S7 interface). realvirtual Professional is €1,250 net, one-time per developer, with no runtime fees for delivered applications. A valid Unity license is required.
25+ interfaces: Siemens S7 and PLCSim Advanced, Beckhoff TwinCAT, OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus, EtherNet/IP, Bosch ctrlX, Keba, plus robot controllers from KUKA, Fanuc, ABB, Universal Robots, Denso and more – and FMI/Simulink for external behavior models.
No. Compiled applications run royalty-free on Windows, Linux, macOS, WebGL, mobile and VR/AR headsets. Only engineering seats need Unity; machine models and documentation can additionally be delivered as open GLB to the browser.
