New trends and demands of the automotive industry have dramatically influenced the requirements and processes of tool and die manufacturing over the last years and have led to new, serious and often incoherent challenges for the tool and die makers which have to rethink and redefine their concepts for manufacturing, machinery and production management. To assist in establishing advanced process chains for tool and die manufacturing, problem-adapted solutions and services, based on competences on the relevant field of forming technology, precision technology and machine tools construction plus the incorporation of digital development tools such as CAD, CAM, Simulation and Virtual Reality, are provided. It will only be possible to achieve improvements on a scale required for ensuring competitiveness by applying a holistic analysis of the process chain for tool and die construction, ranging from the manufacturing task of the forming part or casting over tool/die development, machine development to production planning and production management. This essay described some innovative solutions to various examples of problems. These results are based on a multiplicity of different development techniques and area-specific expertise which must be integrated in order to define advanced process chains. By using virtual reality technologies, an innovative and promising integration approach is pursued. It can be assured, that this technology, which is at present almost exclusively being used in automotive industry under the slogan of the 'digital factory', will also be a pre-eminent aid for tool and die construction in the future.
