Abstract: Based on rubber processing research, this article utilizes computer technologies such as Unity3D
and 3Dmax to construct a three-dimensional scene and process flow of the rubber mixing workshop. It designs
and develops a virtual simulation system for the rubber mixing process. This system features perspective
observation of the internal process, supports free movement for visitors, has strong interactive simulation
capabilities, and professional page design. Taking the F270 type internal mixer as an example, the system
demonstrates the structure and working principle of the main equipment and achieves interactive operation,
fully reflecting the advantages and characteristics of combining rubber mixing technology with a virtual
simulation platform.
Key words: rubber mixing process; virtual simulation; Unity3D; interactive simulation
