Presentation Title: Digital Manufacturing: Helping Create Products Better & Faster
Abstract: Digital manufacturing process ensures the adequacy between the design intent and the physical solution of the produced part. It has
been a platform to experiment, enrich and enable innovation in the world of mechanical engineering industries. Entrepreneurs have experienced
the imaginations being portrayed to engineer products that are designed and improved with the aid of visual and emotional creativity. This
presentation makes an attempt to revisit the progressive eras of digital manufacturing and helps connect to actual projects executed on end-to-
end cycle of manufacturing products as applied in the production environment in areas of mechanical engineering. It also emphasizes the
advantages and benefits of digital manufacturing over conventional methods of manufacturing as evolved over the last two decades.
