Equipment
In the VETC the use of modern tools of the digital and virtual factory is deepened and the whole engineering process is illustrated by the product development up to the factory planning. The main focus of the lab lies in use application of the tools of the digital factory in teams working spatially apart, i.e. to the Virtual Collaborative engineering (VCE).
