In the world of car manufacturing, vehicle makers are constantly trying to cut costs while ensuring quality in their end products.
With that in mind, Ford is developing a virtual factory to simulate its manufacturing process in an attempt to cut costs and improve quality in its real plants by creating and analysing computer simulations of vehicle production.
And then there’s the 3D vehicle simulations – imagine seeing your average Fiesta or Focus in front of you, except it’s not there – with the idea being that these virtual prototypes can help evaluate the way parts are put together.
