Features: This book is intended for researchers in the fields of manufacturing engineering, system simulation, etc., and can also serve as a reference book for senior university students and teaching/research in related disciplines. Virtual manufacturing is the essential realization of actual manufacturing on computers, employing computer simulation and virtual reality technology to achieve the fundamental processes of product manufacturing, such as product design, process planning, machining, performance analysis, quality inspection, and the management and control of production processes, thereby enhancing the predictive and decision-making capabilities of the manufacturing process. Based on the author's extensive research and application achievements, this book systematically summarizes virtual manufacturing technology. The book consists of 15 chapters, divided into three parts: Part I (Chapters 1-7) covers the common technologies of virtual manufacturing, Part II (Chapters 8-13) focuses on the specialized technologies of virtual manufacturing, and Part III (Chapters 14-15) explores the applications of virtual manufacturing.
