Since version SIGMA 12.1 it is possible to manage and use so-called meta machines. These are screw and barrel configurations, which can be stored independent of the construction kit and diameter. Beside the name of a meta machine, corresponding keywords can be created and selected.

It is possible to define keywords for certain material types and uses (e.g. PMMA, degassing screw).

An overview is shown in the following figure below.
