Abstract

Addressing the pain points in the digital transformation of high-end equipment manufacturing, such as data silos, inadequate scenario adaptability, and weak full-lifecycle support inherent in traditional 3D modeling, a digital application pathway spanning the entire lifecycle of design, manufacturing, and operation and maintenance is constructed, with a 3D digital model system serving as the core foundation. The system encompasses virtual verification of digital prototypes, collaborative design, and process planning, and supports the implementation of scenarios including digital twin virtual-real mapping, intelligent operation and maintenance, and production line optimization. Engineering cases validate the practical effectiveness. Further analysis is conducted on bottlenecks such as multi-domain model fusion and standardization, with corresponding optimization strategies proposed. The resulting outcomes provide actionable reference for equipment manufacturing enterprises advancing digital transformation and hold significant engineering application value.
