  Abstract/
Summary
The development of PLM systems is closely related to the integration of the design process with the actual manufacturing process and the complete assessment of the operation at an early stage of the program development. Currently a lot of progress has been made on the application of Virtual Reality tools in the various stages of product development. Aim of this work is the integration of virtual environments with production design processes. Most of the existing systems are focused on the study of the machining process kinematics and do not provide information related to the process results. A production processes simulation system was developed for the determination of critical quantitative and qualitative processes parameters. The system provides realistic visualization of the processes in a three dimensional virtual machine shop environment, walk/fly through and interaction capabilities. System user acquires information related to the process simulated in the virtual environment in real time.
