Features: This book is intended for researchers in the fields of manufacturing engineering, system simulation, and others, as well as senior university students and teaching materials for related disciplines. Virtual manufacturing is the essential realization of actual manufacturing on computers, employing computer simulation and virtual reality technology to achieve core processes 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 manufacturing processes. Based on the authors' 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 specialized technologies, and Part III (Chapters 14-15) explores the applications of virtual manufacturing. This book is intended for researchers in the fields of manufacturing engineering, system simulation, and others, as well as senior university students and teaching materials for related disciplines.
