New employee education using 3D virtual manufacturing

3D virtual manufacturing holds a huge promise for industrial corporation education and training. From 3D simulation that makes it easier for new employees to understand complex concepts to allow new employees to experience nonsafety situations first-hand without threat to personal safety, and helping to make the training more efficient and productive. Proven to be a valuable training tool when trying to engage and enthuse new employee to new or complex topics. In 3D virtual manufacturing, a student can slow down the simulation of an industrial process, pause, and zoom on a point of interest, and do 360-degree view on a machine, things that are not possible in real world. This paper presents a method using existing virtual manufacturing technology in order to improve the quality of a new employee training, reduce the cost and the time consumed in the training. It could offer a tremendous advantage for the distance manufacturing new engineers as they could operate costly machining equipment on their own computer in a very mistake forgiving environment.
