Abstract
This research highlight overviews the development roadmap of digital design and manufacturing and focuses on the future development directions under the Industries 4.0.
Highlights
Digital design and manufacturing have been around for several decades from the numerical control of machine tools and automating engineering design in 1960s, through early Computer Aided Design (CAD)/Computer Aided Engineering analysis (CAE)/Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), to modern digital design and manufacturing [1], and cloud manufacturing [2] converging into product lifecycle management (PLM) [3, 4] and Internet-enabled personalized manufacturing [5]
Digital design and manufacturing technologies provide a great support for product realization from design conception and engineering to manufacturing, sales and services of a product
When we look at the horizon of the Industry 4.0 manufacturing scenarios and the emerging/evolving technologies, what are the challenges facing to our digital design and manufacturing research community and the industry? Examples of these technologies are novel manufacturing technology, such as additive manufacturing, ICTs, such as Cyber-Physics Systems (CPS), Big Data, the Internet of Things (IoTs), Artificial intelligence (AI), Digital Twin, and SMAC (Social, Mobile, Analytics, Cloud) and product and design technology, such as Smart Products, User Experience (UX) and Human Centered Design (HCD)
