VR SOP Training for Additive Manufacturing (Metal & Polymer)

Make build prep, powder safety and post-processing simple and consistent

Additive lines need careful preparation, safe handling and reliable finishing. Spark builds bespoke VR training for your printers, powders, build prep, heat treatment and inspection steps—so operators practise the full workflow end-to-end.

Typical pain points

• Build failures from poor file prep, supports or parameter choices.
• Powder risks (metal dust, ATEX, inert gas, PPE) and spill response.
• Post-processing variation in depowdering, heat treat, HIP, machining and surface finish.
• Traceability gaps in material lots, machine logs and inspection records.

How our bespoke build helps

1. Capture your SOPs: CAD/AM prep, machine setup, powder handling and finishing steps.
2. Create scenarios: build prep, changeover, inerting, spill drill, heat treatment and inspection.
3. Coach in VR: clear prompts that match your equipment and paperwork.
4. Assess: right-first-time builds, safety behaviours and documentation quality.

Benefits

• Fewer failed builds and faster recovery.
• Safer powder handling and better compliance.
• Reliable, repeatable finishing and inspection.

Why Spark

We tailor the trainer to your machines, materials and quality system—no generic content.
