Virtual machining systems apply computers and different types of software in manufacturing and production in order to simulate and model the behavior and errors of a real environment in virtual reality systems.[1] This can provide useful means for products to be manufactured without the need of physical testing on the shop floor. As a result, the time and cost of part production can be decreased.[2]

Applications

  • Simulated machining process in virtual environments can be used in terms of machine tools modifying.[3]
  • The part is modeled and produced in a computer simulation environment with predicted errors in order to achieve the best accuracy in the produced part.[2]
  • The system can be used in process planning of machining operations with regards to the desired tolerances of part designing.
  • Optimization techniques can be applied to the simulated machining process in order to increase efficiency of parts production.[4]
  • Finite element method (FEM) can be applied to the simulated machining process in virtual environments in order to analyze stress and strain of the machine tool, workpiece and cutting tool.
  • Accuracy of error modeling in prediction of machined surfaces can be analyzed by using the virtual machining systems.
  • Time and cost of accurate production can be decreased by applying rules of production process management to the simulated manufacturing process in the virtual environment.
  • Efficiency of part manufacturing can be improved by analyzing the production methods.
