Digital manufacturing refers to the use of computer technology to integrate tools such as simulation, 3D visualization, and analytics in order to create the layout of the product manufacturing process. In digital manufacturing, the manufacturing is centered around a computer system, where a machine reads a CAD (computer-aided design) file to deliver it in a few hours. The process also allows to prototype, produce, and fabricate mold to aid production.
Digital manufacturing incorporates data from actual production processes into the new product design process, allowing corporations to create and arrange production lines during plant layout planning. Digital manufacturing solutions are also utilised to execute a variety of factory-related tasks, such as tooling, machining, assembly sequencing, and plant layout planning.
The growing adoption of digital manufacturing due to improved production efficiency and reduced time-to-market for the products are expected to drive the Digital Manufacturing Market over the predicted years. Apart from this, digital manufacturing validates robotics and automation programs virtually and also allows for part manufacturing processes to be optimized within a managed environment. This expects a boost to the market in the coming years.
Additionally, lower production costs can be accomplished through resource optimization, and rapid expansion in Product Life-Cycle Management (PLM) is expected to propel the industry during the estimated period. There are various constraints and problems that can stymie market expansion. Market limitations are likely to be factors such as the high initial investment cost and reliance on external partners for digital manufacturing deployment.
