Over the past decades, air traffic has increased to such an extent that it has highly impacted (anthropogenic) climate change due to heat, noise, particulates, and gas emissions. With airplane turbines being a pivotal contributor to such adverse developments, there has been an increasing interest in research regarding the optimization of airplane turbines. In line with these efforts, this chapter adopts an innovative approach that bridges the digital and physical through the application of digital twin technology to direct metal laser melting to optimize product development. Specifically, it encompasses a guideline towards how digital twin solutions are created based on all the latest research. A manual approach devises a digital twin interface where the prototype is manufactured used additive manufacturing. This manual can then be applied to optimize airplane turbines regarding their safety, environmental impact, fuel efficiency, and cost. |
