Abstract
The paper presents integrative approach in the application of virtual engineering technologies in design of products and production processes for their manufacture. This has resulted in the integration of CAD/CAM/CAE and Virtual Reality technologies in product design and FE/FV numerical simulations and optimization of production processes as digital prototyping of products and processes on one side, and rapid prototyping techniques as physical prototyping, on the other side. Reverse engineering and coordinate metrology have been also applied in reengineering of sheet metal forming process of existing products, with the aim of generating initial digital information about product and final quality control on multi-sensor coordinate measurement machine.
Keywords
