rafaelkonlechner/cdl-digital-twin

The project is a legacy prototype, nearly 9 years old (3193 days) with zero current development velocity. While it demonstrates a functional 'digital twin' concept using Blender and MQTT, it lacks the robustness, physics engine integration, and modern web-based rendering (e.g., Three.js/WebGPU) required for industrial use. With only 30 stars and 10 forks accumulated over nearly a decade, it has failed to build any significant community or momentum. Today, this space is dominated by professional-grade platforms like NVIDIA Isaac Sim, AWS IoT TwinMaker, and Unity Robotics Hub, which offer far deeper integration with ROS/ROS2 and real-time physics. The architectural pattern (Blender script to MQTT to Web) is now a standard hobbyist tutorial project rather than a defensible product.
