The implementation of an Internet-based Virtual Manufacturing facility for the development and optimisation of new manufacturing processes is presented. The facility integrates advanced process simulation software, a remote machine monitoring system and multimedia technologies to realise a virtual environment for manufacturing process optimisation. Utilising physics-based process simulations, process parameters and operational sequences are evaluated and optimised with respect to desired product features. Having optimised the operation, a prototype of the part can be created at the facility. During prototyping, process parameters are monitored in real-time. A Case Study is presented, where a 3-axis milling operation is defined, optimised and executed using the facility.
