Mind the Gap: Filling the Gap Between CAD and the CNC Using Engineering Services

Abstract

Digital manufacturing requires models, but todays manufacturing machines are controlled by codes that describe linear and circular motions. The details of these codes are unique to each machine and cannot be shared. They are hard to optimize because they do not describe the design requirements being met, or any but the most basic form of the solution. The Mind the Gap project has filled this gap with standards to describe tolerances and tooling. This new information allows new cloud services to be developed. Mind the Gap has shown that these services can operate in real time and make manufacturing 15 more efficient.
