Ambiente de desenvolvimento de manufatura virtual

Abstract

The demand for foreign equipments in teaching institutions is well-know. To properly train an engineer, a lot of hours in several equipments are required. This is a problem if the equipments are expensive. The problem increases if manufacturing automation and control are focus. The number of equipments needed to simulate real industrial problems is enormous and even if considering the unlikable possibility that founds are not the problem, the physical space would be. To overcome this problem, the present work introduces a robotic and manufacturing framework. Based on the virtual reality present on games this framewo rk enables one to generate any desirable rigid-body scenario raging from manufacturing process to robot, manipulators, pneumatic engines and others. The graphics quality as well its physical behaviors enables an operator to live a realistic immersion in the virtual environment.
