虚拟制造在材料加工上的应用研究

Application of Virtual Manufacturing in Materials Processing

虚拟制造(VM)是一门新兴的技术,它主要是用于模拟真实生产,比如产品模型、仿真以及人工智能。虚拟制造是近年来依靠信息基础和知识库发展起来的。伴随着虚拟制造的应用,许多生产活动便可以集成并实现在系统上。生产的费用和以市场为导向所带来的研发时间便可以大大缩减。虚拟制造相关的技术,以及相关材料加工上的特殊技术和当前的研究成果都是值得去肯定的。虚拟制造系统开发的重点应该放在社会和技术方面。一些相关材料加工的虚拟制造的应用实例也已出现。

Virtual manufacturing （VM） is an emerging technology that is used for the mimics real manufecturing operations with models, simulations and artificial intelligence. VM is a knowledge and information-based technique developed in recent years. With the use of the VM technologies, many aspects of the activities can be integrated and realized into one system. The manufactudng cost and time-to-market can be reduced. The associated technologies of VM and their key techniques related to matedals processing and current research work are＇ highlighted. Emphases are placed on the social and technological aspects in the development of VM systems. Some practical application examples of VM in materials processing are presented.
