Abstract

In the mechanical industries the virtual prototyping has become an important process during manufacturing of components. Immersive visualization changes the dynamic of manufacturing by virtual prototyping instead of physical prototyping. Various softwares have been developed for design, viewing and etc. High performance visualization tool for viewing of 3D CAD on general-purpose computer is a basic requirement of rapid prototyping. This paper has documented the development of an efficient, easy to use, cost effective visualization system for manufacturing industries. This provides computer-generated realism to decision makers and development team for their collaborative work.
