Industry 4.0, through use of the Digital Twin, delivers the Factory of the Future by connecting multiple stakeholders from customer interface to manufacture and fulfillment. The Digital Twin is similar to a product configurator, leveraging computation and parametric abilities to automatically produce any iteration for purchase and all instructions or assets for manufacture. Designers, makers, and manufacturers of all crafts and sizes can share assets from one centralized digital workshop, through web-based platforms, while being distributed across local or global physical locations. This talk will expand on interconnected technologies which help automate making while preserving craft and design.
