A collaborative robot cutting system for the assembly, construction, fabrication, and/or the completion of structural components for manufactured assemblies. A method of preparing work pieces and materials for further manufacturing operations employing the intuitive graphical interactive programming features of a robot cutting system user interface to enhance productivity and versatility in high mix, low volume fabrication environments with minimal operator training.

The present relates to a method for automatically determining a finishing recipe of a manufactured component. A non-finished 3D model, consisting in a 3D representation of the manufactured component at a non-finished stage, is received at a computer. And a finished 3D model, consisting in a 3D representation of the manufactured component at a finished stage, is received. The non-finished 3D model and the finished 3D model are further processed, to calculate a finishing recipe of one or more tool(s), The tool performs a finishing operation according to the finishing recipe on the manufactured component at the non-finished stage, to obtain the manufactured component at the finished stage. The finishing recipe may include a trajectory of the tool(s), an operational parameter(s) of the tool(s). The manufactured component may consist in a blade. The finishing operation may consist in profiling, polishing, tri-blending, weld blending, twist and bow.

Systems and methods for virtual machine management are disclosed. A virtual machine manager may communicate with a storehouse, which may include one or more virtual machines. The virtual machine manager may select one or more virtual machines, or may create one or more virtual machines, depending on the requirements of an input.
