WIKUS-Sägenfabrik Wilhelm H. Kullmann GmbH & Co. KG once again emerges as an innovation leader and is the world’s first band saw blade manufacturer to offer a virtual showroom where customers can experience band saw blades and circular saw blades online in 3D.

Spangenberg, 3 March 2022: – Customers and business partners will soon be able to discover the product highlights of Europe’s largest band saw blade manufacturer in a unique digital world of experience: WIKUS is now providing an application with which the sawing tools can be experienced interactively in a virtual 3D showroom. WIKUS is thus once again positioning itself not only as the world market leader in metal sawing with “Made in Germany” quality but also as a pioneer in the development of digital services with added value for customers. A prototype of the innovative platform was presented at EMO MILANO 2021, and the new enhanced version is now available to all customers.

Welcome to the digital world of products

The virtual WIKUS showroom can be started conveniently via Internet browser and used remotely with a tablet or on a desktop computer. An intuitively controllable 360° animation provides access to the 3D showroom with its characteristic production environment. At the various info points, the WIKUS sawing tools are visualized as 3D models. It is also possible to see their technical features and advantages. During the animation, a great deal of emphasis was placed on the precise and detailed representation of the products in order to highlight the special features of the technological structure of the high-tech sawing tools. The possibility of requesting a quotation directly from the application was also integrated: WIKUS thus offers an extremely fast and user-oriented way of selecting sawing tools in an application-oriented manner and requesting the desired solution from the manufacturer directly from within the application.
