Intelligent Collaborative Platform for Testing a Product by Virtual Prototyping

This paper presents an integrated platform, based on collaborative environment, which can improve the design and prototyping activities. Collaborative activities in supporting product development and design during all product life-cycle, needs a Digital Factory framework. Demonstration of prototyping in real-time where are available changes in geometry, constraints, or other parameters can be based on virtual and augmented platforms. The mechanical and non-mechanical design needs, or any other virtual experiment can be experimented in virtual laboratory where researchers located in different geographical zones, can work on the improvement of product, by sharing resources and research results.
