Over the years, Digital Twin (DT) has become popular in Advanced Manufacturing (AM) due to its ability to improve production efficiency and quality. By creating virtual replicas of physical assets, DTs help in real-time monitoring, develop predictive models, and improve operational performance. However, integrating data from physical systems into reliable predictive models, particularly in precision measurement and failure prevention, is often challenging and less explored. This study introduces a Predictive Maintenance and Inspection Digital Twin (PMI-DT) framework with a focus on precision measurement and predictive quality assurance using 3D-printed 1''-4 ACME bolt, CyberGage 360 vision inspection system, SolidWorks, and Microsoft Azure. During this approach, dimensional inspection data is combined with fatigue test results to create a model for detecting failures. Using Machine Learning (ML) -- Random Forest and Decision Tree models -- the proposed approaches were able to predict bolt failure with real-time data 100% accurately. Our preliminary result shows Max Position (30%) and Max Load (24%) are the main factors that contribute to that failure. We expect the PMI-DT framework will reduce inspection time and improve predictive maintenance, ultimately giving manufacturers a practical way to boost product quality and reliability using DT in AM.
