 INTRODUCTION
 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.
CONCEPT OF VM
 WHAT VM IS ?
 Virtual manufacturing is manufacturing in a computer.
 Virtual manufacturing is a manufacturing of imaginary
objects in an imaginary or virtual environment to attain
concrete objective.
 An integrated, synthetic manufacturing environment
exercised to enhance all levels of decision and control
VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT
 A computer-generated,3-D representation of a setting in
which the user of the technology perceives themselves t
o be and with in which interaction takes place.
 A place containing things that can be manipulated easily.
ENVIRONMENT OF VM
TASK TO CONSTRUCT VIRTUAL
ENVIRONMENT

 Product model library

 Device model preparation

 Virtual shop floor model construction

 Virtual enterprise organization

 NEED OF VM IS?
 Development of models
 Simulation of models
 Optimization of process
 Virtual prototyping
 Calculation of different parameters
PREDICTION OF VM
 VISION OF VM
 Manufacture in the computer.
 Provide a powerful modeling and simulation
environment.
 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.
CONCEPT OF VMD
 CLASSIFICATION
1. Classification based on types of products and
process design.
2. Classification based on type of system
integration.
3. Classification based on functional usage.
 Classification based on types of product and
process design
 Production-oriented Virtual Manufacturing

 Control-oriented Virtual Manufacturing

 Design-oriented Virtual Manufacturing

 Classification based on type of system
integration
 Real Physical System
 Real Information System
 Virtual Physical System
 Virtual Information System

 Classification based on functional usage

 Virtual Prototyping
 Virtual Machining
 Virtual Inspection
 Virtual Assembly
 Virtual Operational Control
 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.
HUMAN INTERFACE IN VM
 TYPES OF VR SYSTEM
 Windows on World(WoW)
 Also called Desktop VR.
 Using a conventional computer monitor to display
the 3D virtual world.
 Immersive VR
 Completely immerse the user's personal viewpoint
inside the virtual 3D world.
 The user has no visual contact with the physical
word.
 Often equipped with a Head Mounted Display
(HMD).
 Telepresence
A variation of visualizing complete computer
generated worlds.
 Links remote sensors in the real world with the senses
of a human operator. The remote sensors might be
located on a robot. Useful for performing operations
in dangerous environments.
 Mixed Reality(Augmented Reality)
 The seamless merging of real space and virtual space.
 Integrate the computer-generated virtual objects into
the physical world which become in a sense an equal
part of our natural environment.
 Distributed VR
A simulated world runs on several computers which
are connected over network and the people are able to
interact in real time, sharing the same virtual world
