Projects

The European project dynaTWIN aims to improve milling processes in the manufacturing industry, particularly in the metallurgical and aerospace sectors, through an innovative solution based on dynamic digital twins, virtual reality, and vibration analysis.
This technology enables the detection of faults, reduction of part defects, and optimization of production resources.

The project has a duration of 36 months and is funded by the Eurostars-2 joint programme, co-financed by the Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI) and the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Framework Programme.

The consortium is composed of partners from three European countries: Germany (ModuleWorks and Fraunhofer IPT), Spain (AICRUMIT), and Turkey (TUSAŞ Engine Industries).

Challenges in Advanced Manufacturing

The manufacturing of complex components, such as those used in the aerospace industry, requires high levels of precision, quality, and reliability.
One of the main challenges is the effect of vibrations during milling, which can lead to defects, increased waste, accelerated wear on machinery, and higher operational costs.

dynaTWIN offers a concrete solution to this challenge through a digital approach that enables real-time understanding and visualization of the machine’s dynamic behavior, optimizing production processes and improving preventive and corrective decision-making.

Project Innovations

Among the project’s main technological innovations are:

• Digital Twin Module (Dynamics Twin):
  A virtual reality application that replicates the milling machine’s dynamic behavior, allowing real-time visualization of vibrations.

• Vibration data processing and analysis:
  Data is displayed on a 3D model of the milled part using a color scale to easily identify critical areas.

• Intuitive and predictive interaction:
  The system supports operators in making informed decisions, anticipating failures and applying preventive maintenance measures.

• Self-optimization of the production process:
  The digital twin enables real-time adjustments to the machine configuration to reduce vibrations and avoid errors, even in highly complex processes.

dynaTWIN is expected to significantly enhance the efficiency and sustainability of the manufacturing industry, aligning with the goals of the European Green Deal by reducing waste, defects, and emissions related to the manufacturing process.
