Virtual Reality engine design becomes reality
Our Virtual Reality Cave consists of very large, stereoscopically projected screens and a tracking system for representing 3D models (CAD data) in the correct perspective at a scale of 1:1 and enables the user to “walk through” visualisations.
This transforms the way our design engineers are able to visualise engine mock-ups, design new assembly sequences and examine simulations. Enabling us to deliver engines that continue to deliver benefits for our customers.
The VR Cave was a crucial element during the design of our record-breaking Power Gearbox which forms a key component in our VOP Series® engine design. Not only did it aid assembly planning but it also offered our fitters with a detailed picture of the initial assembly steps in advance.
We are continually exploring opportunities where VR can further contribute to the way we design and manufacture engines, contributing towards our vision for the IntelligentEngine.
