This paper addresses the importance of integrating a virtual manufacturing (VM) system with the Internet and proposes a web-based, scalable and distributed architecture for developing a platform-independent VM system. A prototype web-based virtual CNC milling system has been developed using Virtual Reality Modelling Language and Java. The user can easily set up machining conditions, operate the virtual milling machine in a web browser, and evaluate and optimise the machining process on the Internet without installing any extra software. The system also provides an open environment, in which user-defined process algorithms can be integrated, evaluated and refined.
