How augmented reality is being used to train the next generation of welders
It’s black art. I used to hear that a lot on fab shop tours—code for something that took years to learn and only the talented few truly mastered. Why, exactly? Sometimes it had to do with the nature of the skill and the worker’s tactile and visual experience welding a workpiece. If something went awry, they’d try again. And again. And again. For years.
The thing is, considering the acute worker shortage, the industry just doesn’t have that kind of time. It needs some way to shorten that training cycle while not skimping on process fundamentals so that students know what works in what situation and why. They don’t just show up to the shop, learn a narrow set of skills (push this button, weld this joint), and get to work. They follow procedures, but they also know why those procedures work so well.
Here, augmented reality (AR) might fill a need, especially for one of the most hands-on processes on the fab shop floor: welding.
“We’ve been in the augmented reality space for the past eight years, and it continues to get better and better. We’re trying to get as close to reality as possible, including visual, audio, and tactile elements. Our ability to create an accurate weld puddle in software has come a long way in just the past few years.”
