Digital twins in manufacturing plays a key factor for the digital transformation. A necessary component of any digital twin in manufacturing is a geometric model of a workpiece as it is processed through steps. DT requires solid 3d models, machining features, and information regarding machines, tools, and its constraints such as initial setup, machining direction, etc. The objective of this paper is to generate alternate feature interpretations to identify geometric constraints, machine and tool requirements, and stock materials to generate flexible manufacturing plans that fit a defined criterion. In this study we propose using the IMPlanner system to retrieve a 3d model from a CAD software, read its geometric features and convert them into possible machining features. This information along with information from the database of stock materials, tools, machines, and tolerances, the system generates several feature interpretations, thus offering a more flexible manufacturing plan.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
