“…We can see that the development of the digital twins is starting to be extended beyond these few traditional applications, but it remains an emergent development. These emerging works show a lot of potentialities linked to the efficiency of the design process thanks to iterations in "real system" conditions with users, as well as the possibility to enhance "collaborative" design between communities of designers-users for example 34 .…”

Background: The evolution of product expectations in the era of mass customization implies an improvement and a better control of individualized creation and production processes throughout the product lifecycle. The application of the digital twin (DT) seems to be a favoured solution in this context, but its study during the lifecycle of a product has only been partially evoked in the literature. Methods: The purpose of this state-of-the-art article is to identify current trends of applications of the digital twin concept in the literature under two main dimensions: its nature regarding the interaction structure between digital and physical objects (defined as: Pre-Digital Twin, digital model, digital shadow, and digital twin), but also its applications, along the product lifecycle (Design, Production, Operation, Disposal). To achieve this analysis a systematic literature review was carried out. The publications selection was based on the presence in this of a case of application of a digital twin with a focus in the Manufacturing sector. Within this review, 188 scientific papers were compiled and analyzed. Results: Results showed that although the term digital twin is widely used, the deployment of DT technologies in manufacturing is still at an early stage as most of the digital twin applications were in fact prototypes focused on the real-time observability of the physical system, either for optimization or predictive maintenance. Moreover, regarding the product lifecycle, most of the applications have been focused on the production and operational phases whereas those at the design and disposal phases are still limited. Conclusions: This paper presents an original approach to the study of digital twins, not focusing on a single application area or lifecycle phase but which aims to establish future perspectives on the use of digital twins along the lifecycle.

The treatment of bone defects has always posed challenges in the field of orthopedics. Scaffolds, as a vital component of bone tissue engineering, offer significant advantages in the research and treatment of clinical bone defects. This study aims to provide an overview of how 3D printing technology is applied in the production of bone repair scaffolds. Depending on the materials used, the 3D-printed scaffolds can be classified into two types: single-component scaffolds and composite scaffolds. We have conducted a comprehensive analysis of material composition, the characteristics of 3D printing, performance, advantages, disadvantages, and applications for each scaffold type. Furthermore, based on the current research status and progress, we offer suggestions for future research in this area. In conclusion, this review acts as a valuable reference for advancing the research in the field of bone repair scaffolds.

“…Ref. [9] defines a virtual model as a "copy" of a physical model or real system that can mimic, characterise and describe its properties and performance from multiple temporal and spatial viewpoints. It has all kinds of data, such as material properties, geometric dimensions or historical performance data, to drive and model a simulation that can be used to control, optimise or even predict the actual performance of physical entities.…”

Industry 4.0 is in continuous technological growth that benefits all sectors of industry and society in general. This article reviews the Digital Twin (DT) concept and the interest of its application in photovoltaic installations. It compares how other authors use the DT approach in photovoltaic installations to improve the efficiency of the renewable energy generated and consumed, energy prediction and the reduction of the operation and maintenance costs of the photovoltaic installation. It reviews how, by providing real-time data and analysis, DTs enable more informed decision-making in the solar energy sector. The objectives of the review are to study digital twin technology and to analyse its application and implementation in PV systems.
