The digitalization of manufacturing fuels the application of sophisticated virtual product
models, which are referred to as digital twins, throughout all stages of product realization …

The needs, requirements, and on-going and future research issues in geometrical metrology
for metal additive manufacturing are addressed. The infrastructure under development for …

During the design and manufacturing process, the dimensional and geometric tolerances
assigned to parts will affect the required functionality through a stack-up of deviations …

Additive manufacturing (AM) is emerging as an important manufacturing process and a key
technology for enabling innovative product development. Design for additive manufacturing …

Geometric deviations are inevitably observable on manufactured workpieces and have huge
influences on the quality and function of mechanical products. Therefore, many activities in …

Industry is facing the management of geometrical deviations along the entire lifecycle of the
product. It is helped by digital twin tools that may minimise the geometrical deviations from …

Variability is unavoidable in the realization of products. While design must specify ideal
geometry, it shall also describe limits of variability (tolerances) that must be met in order to …

If the classic fatal development approach's conventional distribution procedure reveals
structural flaws, digital twin (DT) can enable hardware-in-the-loop modeling of individual …

Computer-aided tolerancing (CAT) aims to predict and control geometrical and dimensional
deviations in the early design stage. Former simulation models based on the translation and …

Geometrical variation in individual manufacturing and assembly processes often propagates
and accumulates, resulting in products that do not fulfil functional, esthetical or assembly …
