ISO has recently issued a series of standards (ISO 23247) that deals with a digital twin framework for manufacturing. It is a generic framework that can be specialized to enterprises engaged in different manufacturing processes, such as discrete, batch, or
Thermoset composites are excellent candidates for material extrusion because they shear thin during extrusion but retain their shape once deposited via a yield stress. However, thermal post-curing is often required to solidify these materials, which can
Data formats play an integral role in leveraging the flexibility of additive manufacturing and achieving consistent part quality. This article compares and contrasts data formats optimized for design, materials, processes, and inspection methods. It also

Advanced technologies for the calibration of machine tools are presented. Kinematic errors independently of their causes are classified into errors within one-axis as intra-axis errors, errors between axes as inter-axis errors, and as volumetric errors. As
Circular Economy (CE) efforts aim to tackle complex challenges such as climate change, depleting natural resources, and brittle supply chains while ensuring societal needs are met. The development of secondary sources as industrial feedstocks is important
