Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Simulation

Train students to perform stress, strain, and deformation analysis on mechanical components using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) through immersive XR simulations. The virtual environment allows students to apply loads, constraints, and boundary conditions to 3D models of mechanical components, providing interactive lessons on stress distribution, thermal effects, vibration analysis, and material failure points. Feedback is provided on the structural integrity, safety factors, and optimization of mechanical designs to improve understanding and decision-making in engineering design processes.

CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) Integration

Explore XR-driven CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) software simulations to teach students how to generate toolpaths for CNC machining. Students will virtually import 3D models, set up machining operations, and create G-code for CNC machines. Interactive lessons guide them through toolpath creation, cutting strategies, and simulating machining operations. Feedback on toolpath efficiency, machining time, and material removal helps refine their CAM and CNC programming skills.

Staircase Building

The Staircase Building Simulation teaches students how to construct staircases, including stringers, risers, and treads, while ensuring code compliance and safety. Virtual scenarios guide students through laying out, cutting, and assembling staircase components. Interactive tutorials cover measuring rise and run, cutting stringers, and installing treads and risers. Real-time feedback is provided on staircase alignment, step dimensions, and adherence to safety and building codes.

Threading Operations (Internal and External)

Train students to perform threading operations on both internal and external surfaces using lathe machines or hand-operated threading dies. Through XR simulations, students will practice cutting precise threads on bolts, shafts, and pipes, adjusting thread pitches, speeds, and maintaining proper tool alignment. The simulation provides hands-on experience with critical threading techniques, allowing students to gain proficiency in achieving accurate thread depths, uniformity, and fit for various applications.

LMS Integration

imaginX seamlessly integrates with leading LMS (Learning Management Systems), enabling educators to track student performance and allowing students to maintain their work records. It is compatible with popular platforms such as Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, Google Classroom, Schoology, Sakai, Brightspace/D2L, and can also be used independently of an LMS.
