Summary edit

Description

Virtual reality environments are increasingly used in industry to realistically simulate new manufacturing processes before they are tried on the factory floor. Here, NIST mechanical engineer, Joseph Falco, uses a virtual reality "immersive environment" to simulate use of a hexapod machine tool. "Octahedral hexapod" machine tools represent the first major departure in machine tool design in nearly a century. The machines use an unusual support system technology that provides superior versatility, stiffness, speed, and accuracy.
