Development of an Electrical Discharge Machining learning system for manufacturing engineering education
by Janus S. Liang
International Journal of Internet Manufacturing and Services (IJIMS), Vol. 1, No. 2, 2008

Abstract: A Web-based learning framework of Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is presented in this research. The architecture supports 'hands-on' exercise in precision manufacturing field for distance education and allows learners to practice and access an EDM-based virtual environment by means of the internet. Meanwhile, a learning website has been planned and constructed in order to facilitate interactivity and support EDM. In this research, open-source software tools and virtual interactive technology available are integrated to develop an emulated, effective, learning environment for distance education. The learning architecture is built independently on specific hardware and software of EDM configuration. The paper concludes an example and implementation phase for learning the prototype environment.
