This paper presents possibilities of application the immersive VR and haptic technologies during complex process design virtual prototyping manufacturing workplaces characterized with a high level ergonomic quality. Two case studies are presented: workplace for stud welding set two workplaces, hole drilling manual assembly. In first study, device force feedback effect was used to improve ergonomics main operator activities. second approach used, namely Head-Mounted Device, tracking gesture...

Effective medical and biomedical engineering education is an important problem. Traditional methods are difficult costly. That why Virtual Reality often used for that purpose. Educational VR a well-developed IT field, with many available hardware software solutions. Current solutions prepared without methodological approach. As result, each system purposes unique - there no standardization, which leads to increased development time costs. The paper presents original methodology can be...

The paper presents a number of different approaches for creation realistic immersive educational simulations conditions workplace assembly operations with aid haptic and Virtual Reality systems. Such can be used effective training future operators given testing its ergonomic quality without need building physical prototype. authors have devised several to preparation virtual prototypes training. basic approach is utilization VR systems (Head-Mounted Devices combined user tracking solutions)...

Abstract The paper presents a decision support system for quality tools and techniques (QT&T) selection application. While solving problems improving enterprise processes products, there is often significant problem connected with fast, easy flexible choice of appropriate solution activities. premise the elaboration was richness variety – ranging from technological solutions (e.g. statistical process control (SPC)) to organisational behavioural nominal groups technique (NGT)), as well lack...

This paper presents a process of building prototype an educational application for teaching anatomy with elements physiology, use Virtual Reality environment. Preparation mesh models individual human organs is described, along further visualization techniques, which were used to ensure proper level visual representation. Stages user interface preparation are also described – both and functional aspects covered detailed review programming process, was obtain logical structure connections...

Abstract This article presents the investigation of selected work environment factors with regard to quality manual assembly process. It describes research carried out in a natural and conditions factory producing car wire harnesses. has been pointed that only few condition have significant influence on process's quality. The results experiments proved hypothesis that, between two important (noise level monotony), there is interaction respect their impact © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The paper presents a Virtual Reality system developed as result of cooperation the University and an industrial company – major city bus manufacturer. Main objective work presented in was to obtain tool suitable for daily with clients on configuration visual features customized buses. A can have more than 100 visible (options), which be changed virtually infinite possibilities. Visual representation many these largely unavailable before commenced, resulting certain problems process...

The article presents tools, methods and systems used in mechanical engineering that combination with information technologies create the grounds of Industry 4.0.The authors emphasize has always been foundation industrial activity, while technology, essential part 4.0, is its main source innovation.The discusses issues concerning product design, machining machine tools measurement systems.

This paper presents the results of research on influence moisture content in a filament made ABS polymer properties products manufactured using FDM (fused deposition modeling). Tests were carried out standard printer, parameters recommended by manufacturer and literature subject. A special climatic chamber was used to condition material. negative impact strength dimensional accuracy printed structure their surface is demonstrated. When range between 0.17% 0.75%, decreases 25% sample...

Abstract This paper proposes an approach to the planning and optimization of quality inspections within a multistage manufacturing process based on costs value added production by inspections. Inspection errors resulting repair scrapping are taken into account. In addition, capability inspection system is included. A mathematical model for calculating was developed with focus its practical application.

Purpose The paper aims to describe ideas and implementation of the computer tool for computer‐aided recycling‐oriented design. Currently, there is a strong tendency take into account impact product on natural environment. authors concentrated issue recycling process product, taking phase its purpose, structure, technology example results are presented in this paper. Design/methodology/approach It was assumed that analysis will be performed based set measures product. These (developed by...

Virtual reality (VR) may be used as an innovative educational tool. However, in order to fully exploit its potential, it is essential achieve the effect of immersion. To more completely submerge user a virtual environment, necessary ensure that user's actions are directly translated into image generated by application, which can achieved means various devices, such tracking systems and VR headsets, well haptic devices. Recently, has become focus e-entertainment, resulted appearance on market...

The article presents the results of research on influence natural moisture a filament made acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene terpolymer (ABS) mechanical properties and quality products fabricated with fused fabrication (FFF). concept was defined, range its variability identified in reference to ambient humidity. It is shown that change humidity by 10% resulted about 0.05%. an ABS stored package, airtight container, or container absorber are also discussed. last part impact select filaments...
