Digital Manufacturing Technologies for Missile Development

The digital revolution is now breathing the walls of manufacturing as media, banking, consumer goods, healthcare and other industries are constantly disrupted. Digital manufacturing provides the ability to conduct a full production process in a virtual world. In this way, engineers digitally describe, schedule, build 3D models using CAD software, track, build analysis. Digital manufacturing involves the end to end digitization of all physical assets and their integration in to digital eco systems with value chain partners. Digital manufacturing is the driver for the fourth industrial revolution which is termed as Industry 4.0. This paper explains about the digital manufacturing technologies used for the development of missile.
