Original Abstract Submitted

this disclosure provides techniques for manufacturing parts using digital twin(s) to manage various aspects of the manufacturing system. an example method may include representing a manufacturing system using a digital twin. in some cases, representing the manufacturing system includes modeling, in the digital twin, digital representations that correspond to a number of physical components of the manufacturing system. the physical components include at least: a manufacturing material, a working environment for deposition of the manufacturing material (e.g., for additive manufacturing), a tool to manipulate the manufacturing material between at least two matter states in the working environment, and sensors measuring behaviors of the tool, the working environment, and the manufacturing material. the method may further include receiving a manufacturing production task. the task may include a digital model of a part to be manufactured and default parameters for the manufacturing material(s), the working environment, and the tool.
