The manufacturing environment rapidly changes in turbulence fashion. Digital\r\nmanufacturing (DM) plays a significant role and one of the key strategies in setting up vision\r\nand strategic planning toward the knowledge based manufacturing. An approach of combining\r\n3D machine vision (3D-MV) and an Additive Manufacturing (AM) may finally be finding its\r\nniche in manufacturing. This paper briefly overviews the integration of the 3D machine vision\r\nand AM in concurrent product and process development, the challenges and opportunities, the\r\nimplementation of the 3D-MV and AM at POLMAN Bandung in accelerating product design\r\nand process development, and discusses a direct deployment of this approach on a real case\r\nfrom our industrial partners that have placed this as one of the very important and strategic\r\napproach in research as well as product/prototype development. The strategic aspects and\r\nneeds of this combination approach in research, design and development are main concerns of\r\nthe presentation.
