INTRODUCTION

VIRTUAL MANUFACTURING
 It is a new kind of manufacturing technology.
 It is based on –
Simulation technology
Virtual reality technology
 Information technology
Virtual Manufacturing system is a computer system which
can generate the same information about manufacturing
system‘s structure, states and behaviors as we can observe
in real manufacturing systems.
VM is used in interactive simulation of various
manufacturing process such as virtual prototyping, virtual
machining, virtual inspection, virtual assembly and virtual
operational system.

WhAT IS VM ?
Virtual manufacturing concepts originate from machining
operations and evolve in this manufacturing area.

Virtual Manufacturing is nothing but manufacturing in

the computer.
ChARACTERISTICS
Virtual manufacturing deals with the information and
data of the product and manufacturing system.

Virtual manufacturing is not true manufacturing, but in

the manufacturing of computer and network system
related with software.

Virtual manufacturing processing results are digital

products, rather than the real material products.

Virtual manufacturing is a disperse system.

The simulation of product design, processing and

assembling process can be parallel operated.
CLASSIFICATION
Classification based on type of system
integration.

Classification based on types of product and

process design .

Classification based on functional usage

VIRTUAL REALITY TECHNOLOGY
Virtual Reality is technology for presentation of complicated
information, manipulations and interactions of person with
them by computer.

Virtual Reality is a computer-generated interactive three-

dimensional environment to simulate reality.

Virtual reality with ability to show data 3D and attach sounds

and touch information increases extraordinarily data
comprehensibility.

Virtual reality has entered into the public awareness as medial

toy with equipment „helmet-glove“, which was preferentially
determined for wide public and the price of this system had also
to correspond to this fact, so price could not be very high.
VR systems could be divided by ways of
communication with user to such groups:

Window on World Systems

Video Mapping

Immersive Systems

Telepresence

APPLICATIONS
 Airport operations.

 Urban traffic operations.

 National economy study.

 Waging military battles.

 Material and warehouse distribution systems study and

development.
 Maintenance.

 VM for sheet metal processing.

 Virtual machine tools.

 Virtual machining and inspection system

CONCLUSION
It appears that VM will stimulate the need to design
both for manufacturability and manufacturing
efficiency.

 Nowadays, even if there is a lot of work to do, all the

pieces are in place for Virtual Manufacturing to
become a standard tool for the design to
manufacturing process.
