Title: From Skin Model Shapes to Digital Twins: Challenges, opportunities and future directions for geometric tolerancing

Abstract

Geometrical Product Specifications and Verification (GPS) encompass different product development activities while considering variability and uncertainty inherent in manufacturing processes and systems. The advent of Skin Model Shapes represents a ground-breaking shift to supersede nominal ideal geometry for engineering applications and a new paradigm to encapsulate and manage product’s geometrical variations throughout the design and manufacturing stages, and to leverage digital twins in geometrical variations management. Based on sound conceptualizations and discrete geometry representations, Skin Model Shapes have become a keystone for representing non-ideal surfaces, modelling geometric defects and capturing the geometric variability across product’s lifecycle. This presentation will explore the research challenges, opportunities and future directions enabled by Skin Model Shapes towards digital twins in mechanical engineering. First, we will lay the foundations of Skin Model Shapes and digital twins in the context of ISO GPS standards. Then, their applications in geometric tolerancing and shape processing will be discussed. Finally, opportunities and future directions for additive manufacturing, product digital twin, and machine learning will be explored.
