Getting Started: Preparing the Digital Twin

Step 2: Preparing the Digital Twin

In Step 2 of Getting Started with frontline.io, you will need to prepare your Digital Twin. frontline.io offers two ways for the creation of the Digital Twin, via frontline.io Fast Track or through the 3D Studio.

This series will focus on the Fast Track option.

To generate 3D models for your Twin, frontline.io Fast Track supports various file formats, including FBX, OBJ, GLTF2, STL, and more.

For detailed instructions on uploading CAD files using the Fast Track, check out the article: Create your Digital Twin using frontline.io Fast Track

Once uploaded and the Digital Twin is created, you can adjust its position, add Thumbnails, Meta Data (assign Spare Parts, Part Names and more), and apply Materials in the Digital Twin Editor.

After completion publish the Digital Twin to make it widely available.
