VR SOP Training for Metal Additive Manufacturing & Post-Processing

Safer powder handling and more consistent part quality

Metal AM requires careful powder control, machine routines and post-processing discipline. Spark builds bespoke VR training that mirrors your build prep, powder handling, recoater checks, part removal, heat treatment, support removal and inspection steps.

Typical challenges

• Powder safety: PPE, sieving, spill response and storage.
• Build prep: plate prep, parameter selection and job sign-off.
• Post-process: stress relief, HIP, machining and surface finishing.
• QA: CT/scan checks, dimensional inspection and traceability.

Our bespoke build approach

1. Capture SOPs & controls: powders, parameters and acceptance criteria.
2. Create scenarios: build start, stoppage recovery, depowdering and defect triage.
3. Coach in VR: prompts matched to your machine UI and QA forms.
4. Assess: safe behaviours, scrap causes and compliance.

Benefits

• Reduced powder incidents and contamination.
• Higher repeatability across builds.
• Audit-ready records for regulated customers.

Why Spark

Your machines, parameters and QA gates—encoded into practical training that supports real production.
