AMC TRR 277

People

is developing a data structure and corresponding methods (WP 2) that enable a closed chain between digital design (e.g. BIM) and digital manufacturing (mainly Additive Manufacturing). For backwards communication of “as-built” information during and after a manufacturing process, digital twin methods are incorporated into the developed FIM system (WP 3).
