In-process digital twinning

A method, comprising,

• collecting, by a system comprising a processor, measured inspection data for respective units of a first part while the units are in a work cell that fabricates the units using at least one of subtractive or additive tooling;
• generating, by the system, as-built digital twins of the respective units of the first part based on an aggregation of the measured inspection data and generic part metadata describing as-designed properties of an as-designed version of the first part, wherein the as-built digital twins model respective as-built geometries of the units of the first part;
• selecting, by the system, a unit of the first part, from the units of the first part, for assembly with a unit of a second part based on a determination that a first as-built digital twin, of the as-built digital twins, corresponding to the unit of the first part satisfies a fitting criterion relative to a second as-built digital twin that models the unit of the second part;
• and
• initiating, by the system, assembly of the unit of the first part with the unit of the second part based on a result of the selecting.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause a machining control system to perform operations, comprising:

• collecting measured inspection data for respective units of a first part while the units are in a work cell that fabricates the units using at least one of subtractive or additive tooling;
• generating as-built digital twins of the respective units of the first part based on an aggregation of the measured inspection data and generic part metadata describing as-designed properties of an as-designed version of the first part, wherein the as-built digital twins model respective as-built geometries of the units of the first part;
• selecting a unit of the first part, from the units of the first part, for assembly with a unit of a second part based on a determination that a first as-built digital twin, of the as-built digital twins, corresponding to the unit of the first part satisfies a fitting criterion relative to a second as-built digital twin that models the unit of the second part;
• and
• initiating assembly of the unit of the first part with the unit of the second part based on a result of the selecting.
