Abstract

E-manufacturing as a new generation of product development solution allows original equipment manufacturers across the worldwide to speed up and lean operations activities starting from design to manufacturing. Rapid prototyping (RP) is one which helps in automated manufacturing process to builds physical models from CAD files of 3D prototype or scanning them from the real model. With the high advanced network technologies, many different software and hardware systems can be integrated as a distributed platform to provide more services that solve more complicated problems in order to achieve better performance.  It has been employed in a wide range of manufacturing activities like casting etc. Networked Virtual Environments have already started to foster an insightful, intuitive and interactive environment that allows effective communication among the multiple users. Productivity gains resulting from larger wafers, smaller device features, and 90% and greater yields are now assumed, equipment utilization and manufacturing effectiveness have become target areas for further improvement. This study will be helpful to the academician, manufacturer, researcher, and any person concerned in the field of manufacturing.
