Research of Printing Machine Simulation System Based on Virtual Reality

Abstract:

According to complex structure, long production cycle, low efficiency and high training cost of printing machine, the printing machine motion simulation system based on virtual reality is presented. The system used J2205 as the research object and needed Solidworks mechanical modeling software to build 3D models and assemble into the printing machine. Then the assembly was imported into 3Dsmax to map, render and make animation. Through Virtools_Max_Exporter plug-in the digital model was saved as nmo format. After analyzing dynamics principle of printing machine parts, we used script language and the corresponding algorithm provided by Virtools to realize interaction and motion simulation. At last, the system was exported as exe format which can run without Virtools environment. The system realizes the application of Virtools in mechanical industry. Users can 360°view the printing machine, the assembly and printing process. It has an important significance in printing industry, education and training.
