Track Description:

Digital Manufacturing encompasses the methods, tools, and technologies that enable the digital integration of design, manufacturing, inspection, and lifecycle activities within modern industrial systems. While a broad range of digital technologies contributes to this vision, CAD models increasingly play a pivotal role as structured, authoritative sources of product and process information across the digital thread. This track focuses on digital manufacturing approaches in which CAD models act as key enablers—either as central information carriers or as integrated components within larger data-driven and intelligent manufacturing ecosystems. Contributions are encouraged that explore how CAD models, when enriched with semantic, manufacturing, or quality-related information, support Model-Based Definition (MBD), interoperability, automation, and decision-making, while remaining connected to other digital manufacturing technologies. Relevant topics include the interaction between CAD models and CAx tools, digital twins, cyber-physical systems, Artificial Intelligence, and data analytics, as well as the role of standards and lightweight representations in ensuring scalable and flexible information exchange.
