“…Perhaps the most active area is the use of digital approaches for dimensional metrology, and particularly coordinate, surface, and freeform metrology. Examples include • Development of a metrology and inspection approach to support digital twins of aircraft parts [19] • Use of a digital twin of an optical micro-coordinate measurement machine for efficient and safe measurement path planning [20] • Reduction of the required measurement time in structured light metrology by using a digital twin to combine measured and simulated data to estimate the minimal required exposure time [21] • Use of accurate freeform metrology to provide an accurate digital twin for individual instances of a freeform calibration artefact [22] as well as work described elsewhere in this paper [9,17,18]. As was mentioned in the previous section, some of these papers could be regarded as virtual metrology rather than true digital twins.…”

Digital twinning is a rapidly growing area of research. Digital twins combine models and data to provide up-to-date information about the state of a system. They support reliable decision-making in fields such as structural monitoring and advanced manufacturing. The use of metrology data to update models in this way offers benefits in many areas, including metrology itself. The recent activities in digitalisation of metrology offer a great opportunity to make metrology data “twin-friendly” and to incorporate digital twins into metrological processes. This paper discusses key features of digital twins that will inform their use in metrology and measurement, highlights the links between digital twins and virtual metrology, outlines what use metrology can make of digital twins and how metrology and measured data can support the use of digital twins, and suggests potential future developments that will maximise the benefits achieved.
