Abstract
The growing popularity of intelligent manufacturing has been focused on digital twins since the beginning of the 4th Industrial Revolution. High-quality 3D visualization of production plays a key role in their creation. The presented article describes the use and step-by-step formation of models using Blender with CAD functions when creating a digital double using the example of the equipment. 3D rendering of production equipment allows us to see the equipment from different viewing angles, just like in real life. The purpose of the study is to familiarize people interested in digital doubles and 3D modeling with Blender and Precision Drawing Tools, as well as with the method of using these tools to create a digital copy of a food enterprise. During the research, six steps of creating a 3D model of production equipment and infrastructure were considered: modeling, texturing, optimization, environment, animation, and rendering. This methodology enables increased accuracy and realism in digital twins, allowing for in-depth analysis, simulation, and optimization of production processes. Ultimately, it helps drive smarter decision-making, increase efficiency in terms of resources, and the development of smart manufacturing technology.
