Abstract
The emergence of new Industry 4.0 technologies is paving the way for the digital transformation of industries and businesses. Coupled with additive manufacturing (AM) which is one of the domain pillars of Industry 4.0, digital twin technologies are expected to add value to the product development cycle. Specifically for this paper, the implementation of digital twins for product design in an AM setting is explored. The potentials, challenges, and limitations of implementing digital twins for product design in AM are also discussed. A possible use-case of digital twins for product design of additively manufactured biomedical scaffolds is also proposed, where digital twins can add value to the three phases of product design namely: conceptualization, design, and virtual verification.
