VR SOP Training for PCB Fabrication

Make imaging, plating and drill/route routines easy to learn and repeat

PCB fabs rely on disciplined chemistry and accurate tooling. Spark designs bespoke VR training that mirrors your inner/outer layer imaging, etch/strip, PTH/ENIG/OSP lines, lamination, drill/route and AOI—so operators practise the right sequence safely.

Typical challenges

• Imaging/registration: artwork alignment, UV dose and resist thickness.
• Chemistry control: etch rate, copper thickness, pH/ORP and bath life.
• Lamination: stack-up accuracy, pressure/temperature and void control.
• Mechanical: drill hit accuracy, burr control, routing and cleanliness.

Our bespoke build approach

1. Capture SOPs & limits: process windows, SPC charts and inspection criteria.
2. Create scenarios: panel prep, imaging, plating, lamination and drill/route set-ups.
3. Coach in VR: prompts aligned to your travellers and QA gates.
4. Assess: right-first-time, defect hotspots and rework drivers.

Benefits

• Fewer scrap panels and re-makes.
• Stable thickness/registration across shifts.
• Cleaner audits with clear training evidence.

Why Spark

We encode your stack-ups, chemistries and standards—training that maps to your fab.
