Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
These are to combine desk-top virtual reality techniques and solid modelling for the creation of process plans, part programs, and engineering designs. Virtual reality promises a ready ability to interact in three-dimensional space. In particular it is possible to provide a visual simulation of familiar real-world environments, and to make changes within such an environment. We therefore intend to create a virtual engineering workshop with the aim of allowing the user to design by direct creation of the component, using virtual machinery, and later replaying the actions on a real CNC machines, robots, and cells.
