The use of 3D graphic systems in research, development and prototyping in industries 4.0

Abstract

Purpose -Establish a viable relationship between the use of 3D graphics systems and Industry 4.0. For this, and as the objective of this article, it will be to develop and explore its benefits in different aspects.Methodology -This research article was prepared taking into account a systematic review of our publications focused on our research topic, using the Technological Surveillance Service of the National University of Trujillo.Findings -This review article shows how the use of 3D graphics systems influences Industry 4.0 in research, development and prototyping in different industrial sectors.Value -Additive manufacturing (AM) and 3D graphics systems have an important effect on the design process as well as the production of prototypes, saving in terms of cost and time. Another important effect is the ability to produce geometrically more complex products and a better use of resources.
