TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the functionality and data models necessary for real-time geometry assurance and how this concept allows moving from mass production to more individualized production, a concept referred to as a Digital Twin.

TL;DR: In this paper, a methodology and a software that allows assemblies to be evaluated with respect to robustness and geometrical stability is presented, which aims at detecting design and assembly solutions that are sensitive to variation and may cause problems later during production.

TL;DR: Although tolerancing is a mature field, new manufacturing processes and design methodologies are creating new avenues of research, and modelling standards must also evolve to support these processes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an analysis tool that allows non-rigid parts and assemblies to be evaluated with respect to geometrical robustness, which aims at detecting design and assembly solutions that are sensitive to variation and may cause problems later on during production.

TL;DR: A set of integrated geometry assurance tools that support the geometry assurance process from early design concept phases, through verification and pre-production and finally during production are presented in this paper, where the geometry quality problems are often discovered during preproduction or when the product is getting ready for market introduction, resulting in huge costs for product and/or production changes, market delays and bad publicity.
