Abstract:
There are provided methods and systems for making or repairing a specified part. For example, there is provided a method for creating an optimized manufacturing process to make or repair the specified part. The method includes receiving data from a plurality of sources, the data including as-designed, as-manufactured, as-simulated, as-inspected, as-operated, and as-tested data relative to one or more parts similar to the specified part. The method includes updating, in real time, a surrogate model corresponding with a physics-based model of the specified part, wherein the surrogate model forms a digital twin of the specified part. The method includes generating a prognostic model of predicted performance of the specified part based on the surrogate model and based on one or more characteristics of at least one of an additive and a reductive manufacturing process. The method includes executing, based on the digital twin, the optimized manufacturing process to either repair or make the specified part.
