本研究以螺紋加工程序為主軸，配合虛擬實境(Virtual Reality)及網際網路(Internet)技術的運用，發展Web-based虛擬螺紋製造架構，可讓機械工程與相關領域的學生與螺紋加工產業新進人員等，依循本研究所規劃之設計流程，透過瀏覽器連線方式，學習螺紋標註格式之含義以及螺紋的製造程序。本系統以電腦輔助模型設計、虛擬互動及3D動畫等應用軟體，搭配ActiveX、ASP及Access進行特定功能模組開發及資料儲存等工作，建構具有擬真互動的學習內容。本系統的開發程序為：(1)利用電腦輔助設計軟體繪製模型；(2)應用3DS設計擬真場景及進行零組件組裝；(3)以虛擬實境開發平台EON Studio，實現由使用者透過人機介面所傳送的作動需求及擬真互動之練習目的。透過本平台的學習及訓練，除了能讓使用者更容易了解實際的螺紋生產情況之外，也可避免初學者因不諳實機操作而發生機具損壞與人員生命危險。

In this research, an attempt is made to generate meaningful design data for screw threads and the single-point cutting tool or corresponding tap necessary for the manufacturing over the Internet. Using this information, solid models for the cutter and blank are developed and finally screw-cutting processes are simulated in a virtual manufacturing workshop. The user has the option to choose between design and manufacture mode at will. The integrated process may also help to develop an optimized product. For better understanding of the operational principle, a demonstration mode is included by Geometry-based VR technology.
