Popis: A virtual training environment for a 3-axis CNC milling machine is presented. The key elements of the environment are: (a) textured 3D photo-realistic virtual models of the machines and lab; (b) machine simulator for the machines’ controls and moving parts; (c) semi-empirical model of the machining operation; (d) hierarchical knowledge-base for process training; (e) unstructured knowledge-base for lecture delivery; (f) natural-language human-like intelligent virtual tutors. Applications of the AVML include: training students to operate manufacturing machines in a safe environment, allowing students and researchers to view and interact with highly accurate physical simulation of manufacturing machines, and optimization of the manufacturing process plan by testing various plans on the virtual machine before actual machining. The virtual training environment will significantly reduce the cost and increase the accessibility and safety of advanced manufacturing training.Copyright © 2005 by ASME
