A common ‘Design for Excellence’ approach in any product design process is the ‘Design for Manufacturing’ which is simply to ensure the products are easier to be manufactured. A significant and important part of this approach is the ‘Design for Manufacturing Test’ concept. A final product that was manufactured but is difficult to test to effectively measure its quality and reliability before shipping out may result in disastrous consequences when these products fail out in the field, especially when the products are used in mission-critical industries such as the automotive industry.

While the United States semiconductor industry remains a world leader, domestic manufacturing capacity for chips has undergone a substantial decline. The US semiconductor industry remains a leader in fields like chip design, but more and more firms have moved toward a “fabless” model, in which manufacturing at semiconductors fabrication facilities (“fabs”) is outsourced internationally.

Small-to-midsize businesses in manufacturing and distribution industries are focused on growing revenue, reducing costs, and improving customer experience. However, nearly 40% of companies don’t believe their current business infrastructure and applications (e.g., enterprise resource planning) are adequate for delivering these business priorities.

Business demands have forced manufacturers to be more agile. Smart manufacturers are adopting technology, specifically digital twins, to move faster. Using a digital twin in a manufacturing environment can fast-track discovering bottlenecks, drive efficiencies, lower costs, reduce environmental footprint, and help manage risk. However, there is mystery around digital twins, from defining what they are and their strengths to the critical importance of an ecosystem approach to address the diversity of digital twin scenarios. The goal of this paper is to demystify digital twins, so more manufacturers can apply the technology and bring agility to their operations.

Three-dimensional (3D) printing of complex applications and machine components is a reality. 3D printing offers the ability to produce rapidly and at low cost both industrial-scale runs of high-value parts and one-of-a-kind parts. Now, with an advanced technology for metal parts, HP continues to reinvent the design, production, and distribution of 3D-printed parts to drive the digital transformation of manufacturing with the most advanced 3D metals printing technology for mass production: HP Metal Jet.
