Study on manufacturing technology of multi heterogeneous materials by means of virtual manufacturing

A component, which has an optimized combination of different materials in its different portions for a specific application, is considered as the component made of a multiphase perfect material. To manufacture such components, a hybrid manufacturing process and its corresponding behavior models were introduced. Since it would be risky and expensive to make such a physical machine, a virtual manufacturing system for such components was proposed to provide a reliable foundation for future practical manufacturing with a much better prospect of success and a much lower investment cost. This paper introduced the virtual manufacturing system developed for such components.
