VR SOP Training for Composite Sports Equipment

Lightweight strength with repeatable lay-ups

Racquets, bikes and boards need precise fibre orientation and cure control. Spark builds bespoke VR training that mirrors your ply books, tooling prep, lay-up order, vacuum bagging, autoclave/oven cycles and cosmetic QC—so teams learn the exact technique first.

Typical challenges

  • Material care: freezer control, out-time tracking and FOD prevention.
  • Lay-up accuracy: ply orientation, overlaps, corners and bridging.
  • Vacuum & cure: leak checks, ramps/soaks and thermocouple placement.
  • Finish & test: sand/clear, weight/deflection and visual standards.

Our custom build method

  1. Capture SOPs & CTQs: ply books, cure recipes and acceptance limits.
  2. Create scenarios: tool prep, lay-up, bag/cure, demould and cosmetic rework.
  3. Coach in VR: prompts aligned to your travellers and cure logs.
  4. Assess: scrap drivers, weight variance and finish rejects.

Benefits

  • Fewer delams and voids.
  • Stable stiffness/weight across sizes.
  • Clean audit trail for brand QA.

Why Spark

Your ply schedules and recipes—no generic modules—so performance is consistent.
