Yes, it is true that even today, so many years after 3D printing started to garner attention and acclaim, rapid prototyping remains the single most common use for 3D printers. 3D printers offer the innovator advantages in the form of shorter turnaround times, improved development secrecy and greater design freedoms. But…it is also true that 3D printing isn’t going to remain as a tool for primarily rapid prototyping for much longer.

Derzeit gibt es eine Reihe von neuen Konzepten, mit denen die Produktentwicklung grundlegend verbessert werden kann. Eines dieser Konzepte, das besonders bei der Entwicklung von elektrischen und elektronischen Systemen vielversprechend ist, ist der Digitale Zwilling. Seit einiger Zeit wird darüber viel geredet, und vielfach herrscht auch erhebliche Verwirrung. Derzeit gibt es ein Reihe von unterschiedlichen Definitionen für den Digitalen Zwilling. In diesem Beitrag wollen wir zwei dieser Ansätze vorstellen.

Industry 4.0, a.k.a. the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR), is a hot topic because most of us are either taking our first steps in this world, or we’re preparing to. Clearly, earlier industrial revolutions were all about making better use of resources (e.g. burning coal to make steam), people (e.g. workers in factories) and, latterly, electricity and computer-controlled automation. For each revolution, the companies that did well were early adopters of the technology and practices of the day, and they recognised waste when they saw it.

Each new generation of automobiles has an increasing number of electronic systems that require communications with other vehicle systems at ever higher speeds. The proliferation of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) with fully autonomous vehicles on the horizon has greatly increased the amount of bandwidth that must be transferred between the many processors, cameras, radar units, display head units, etc. on current and next-generation vehicles...
