Integration of Virtual Manufacturing Technology and Course Teaching of Manufacturing Technology

The fundamental of manufacturing technology is a basic course for the students majoring in mechanical engineering, the curriculum content of which is comprehensive and practical. Manufacturing technology is developing towards automation, and virtualization is one of its specific embodiment. In order to comply with the need of development of era, improve teaching quality, this paper integrated the virtual manufacturing (VM) technology and course teaching of manufacturing technology, reformed in teaching method and teaching content, and combined the basic theoretical knowledge of manufacturing and VM software such as CAD/CAE/CAM to realize product process planning and manufacturing etc., which are the essence of manufacturing process. At the same time, the interoperability and roaming ability of CAD/CAE/CAM software make the teaching method diversified and intuitive, which has certain significance.
