Desarrollo de un entorno virtual de máquina fresadora para prácticas de laboratorio

Abstract

He high demand for laboratories worldwide has led to the development of virtual environments as an alternative to expanding their reach and accessibility. However, according to the Global Cities report (2019), these virtual environments have a high level of complexity, making it difficult to introduce them into the educational field. The manufacturing laboratory at UPS has two milling machines, but access is limited due to many students, internal procedures, and risks. According to Lara Ramírez (2022), using a virtual alternative allows students to have access to more laboratory practices, avoiding risks and applying theoretical knowledge. The objective of this project is to develop a virtual environment for milling practices, allowing students to perform unlimited machining practices and be qualified to use the real milling machine at UPS in the laboratory. The project has been developed using the Unity engine, considering the four stages for the development process of a virtual environment.
