Abstract: Based on the profound changes of global manufacturing pattern and the formulation of "Made in China 2025" and other strategies, this paper puts forward the teaching method reform and practice of cultivating compound talents who can integrate workpiece model design skills with NC processing and NC programming technology in non-vocational colleges. According to the overall deployment of the “Education informatization 13th Five-Year plan” issued by the Ministry of Education, this paper aims to explore a set of teaching mode that can cover all aspects of industrial production from design to processing through virtual simulation platform, and explore the development trend of virtual simulation platform, so as to bridge the gap between theoretical learning and practical operation.

Key words: NC machining, Virtual simulation, Teaching mode
