Role of digital twin in manufacturing is discussed. The benefits of introducing digital twin appear when three aspects of digital twin are realized. They are, existence of physical and cyber spaces, Data flows connecting them and so-called digital thread that runs through all the initial design to production processes of manufacturing. Tokyo University of Science, under the financial support and technical collaboration with Hexagon M. I., opened Hexagon/TUS Digital Twin Laboratory in April 2020 after half a year preparation. The objectives and activities of the laboratory are presented in this manuscript. The essence of Digital Twin exists not in the software system but in the strong motivation and the real activities by the people having awareness of the same issues toward establishment of the efficient manufacturing process.
