Who is Fieldmade?
Fieldmade is a tech-savvy company from Norway, with its main office in Oslo specialized in deployable additive manufacturing and digital supply chains. They are developing some of the world’s most advanced solutions for containerized- and deployable additive manufacturing, the NOMAD system, increasing operability and mission readiness across different sectors.
What is the purpose of the digital twin that you have created?
The purpose of NomaDT is to implement a solution that monitors the NOMAD system(s) during transit, deployment, and operation. This will give us better control of operating conditions during deployment, improved process stability, increased ability to perform predictive maintenance and increased ability to provide remote assistance.
Has the digital twin fulfilled your expectations?
NomaDT has – so far – fulfilled our expectations. We are able to extract more data from our microfactory, and this gives us a deeper understanding of our systems during deployment and -operation. Furthermore, it has increased our confidence in our NOMAD systems, by backing up our hypotheses with data.
What are your plans for the near future with the digital twin?
An extension is planned, where improvements to the current digital twin are to be considered. In the more distant future, combining the outcomes of digital twinning and tested routines, we hope to develop a self-regulating NOMAD system.

Change2Twin has served as a great experimentation platform for us at Fieldmade to further develop and explore digital twinning of our mobile additive manufacturing systems. In return, we have increased our understanding and confidence in our product portfolio, and we are ready to level up our digital twins in the coming months.
