Bring Total Materia’s carefully curated, continuously maintained materials data directly into your enterprise systems. Improve efficiency, reduce risk, and ensure consistent materials decisions across design, simulation, manufacturing, and compliance workflows - supporting digital engineering initiatives and the digital thread.

The Integration Gap

Engineering decisions require reliable materials data. But gathering, structuring, and maintaining that data presents serious challenges:

  • Significant upfront investment to collect and consolidate data
  • Incomplete or fragmented datasets, particularly across international materials
  • Data integrity issues from inconsistent units, taxonomies, and duplicate records
  • Difficulty keeping materials data continuously up-to-date
  • Limited governance, control, and traceability

The result: engineers spend time searching, validating, and re-entering materials data across systems — slowing digital initiatives and introducing avoidable errors, compliance exposure, and inconsistent decisions across teams.

Benefits and Value for Enterprises

Total Materia Data Solutions extend authoritative materials data directly into the systems where decisions are made:

  • PLM and ERP systems
  • CAx and simulation environments
  • Engineering applications and product configurators
  • AI and analytics platforms.

Embedding trusted Total Materia materials data at the system level delivers a single source of truth across multiple engineering workflows throughout the digital thread architectures in your business.
This reduces manual data preparation, improves governance, minimizes risk, and ensures decisions are based on reliable reference data.

Structured Materials Data

Connect trusted materials data to every engineering system.
