Virtual Reality is known as one of the most advanced form of interaction between man and computer. Visualization, simulation, information provision and telerobotics are just some of the fields that have been explored int the interaction with virtual manufacturing environments. When used with multi-screen projection systems, this technology provides a significant improvement to the perception of...

This manuscript titled " A multichannel visualization module for virtual manufacturing " has not been published already, nor is it under consideration for publication or in press elsewhere. Abstract Immersive virtual reality (VR) for manufacturing planning helps reduce product development time periods and improves the quality of the production. However, immersive VR equipment is generally expen...

In recent years, Virtual Reality has emerged as a key technology for improving and streamlining design, manufacturing and training processes. Based on experience in the fields of space robotics, industrial manufacturing and multiphysics virtual prototyping, a “Virtual Testbed” for space robotics applications is being realized. The Virtual Testbed is designed as an integrative software approach ...

This paper describes how a link between Virtual Reality and Rapid Prototyping was established at Clemson to enhance the designer’s understanding of manufacturing issues. It concentrates on the topic of support structures for rapid prototyping processes. The paper presents a survey of the litera ture in the area of Virtual Reality and discusses some of the issues of translating an STL model into...

Manufacturing enterprises are being forced into greater collaboration with customers and suppliers in order to produce quality products in smaller batches, shorter lead times, and with greater variety. Consequently, the design-for-manufacturing task must be conducted in these virtual and distributed enterprises across traditional organizational boundaries. This paper proposes the use of standar...

Virtual Assembly (VA) is one of the key technologies in advanced manufacturing field. It is a promising application of virtual reality in design and manufacturing field. It has drawn much interest from industries and research institutes in the last two decades. This paper describes a process for integrating an interactive Virtual Reality-based assembly simulation of a digital mockup with the CA...
