Abstract. The optimization of machining processes, performed by CNC machine tools, using digital twin technology, is gaining a lot of popularity. Digital twin technology can be integrated into every stage of the workpiece life cycle, in order for defective parts prevention and high quality production realization. The human factor is the main source of failures at the production companies. For this reason, human activities like designing, operating, processing, monitoring, analyzing and controlling are being automated through the integration of digital twin technologies. With their help, CNC machine tools are becoming more and more intelligent, independent and autonomous, for the reason of reducing production costs associated with the human factor.
