Abstract

A Virtual Reality-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. In this research, open-source software tools and virtual interactive technology available are integrated to develop an emulated, effective, learning environment for distance education.
