VR SOP Training for High-End Optical Manufacturing

Sharper quality with fewer scratches and reworks

Optical components demand clean handling, precise alignment and careful inspection. Spark builds bespoke VR training that mirrors your lens grinding/polishing steps, coating prep, cleanroom behaviours, alignment routines and inspection criteria—so teams practise correctly before touching expensive optics.

Common challenges

  • Handling: avoiding fingerprints, dust and micro-scratches.
  • Process discipline: grit sequences, dwell times and coolant checks.
  • Coatings: masking, chamber loading and contamination control.
  • Inspection: surface defects, centration, MTF checks and documentation.

How our bespoke build works

  1. Capture SOPs & quality bars: defect standards, tolerances and sign-offs.
  2. Create scenarios: prep, process steps, defect handling and final QC release.
  3. Coach in VR: prompts matched to your tools, fixtures and check sheets.
  4. Assess: right-first-time, defect trends and retraining needs.

Benefits

  • Lower scrap from handling damage.
  • More consistent optical performance.
  • Audit-ready quality records.

Why Spark

Your optics, your tolerances—encoded into training that’s easy to follow and hard to forget.
