There are many fabrication processes in modern manufacturing, but current modeling and simulation tools only simulate a few unit processes based on different geometry models. To overcome the data exchange problem between different models, this paper studies various in-process geometry models together with their working systems / prototypes for traditional manufacturing processes. Novel hybrid multiple-machining and layered manufacturing processes are presented to identify critical issues. Working towards a vision of pervasive modeling and simulation, a unified Voxel-based in-process geometry model for multiple-machining and layered manufacturing simulations is proposed and discussed.
