VR SOP Training for Polymer 3D Printing & Finishing

Stable prints, cleaner changeovers and better cosmetics

Polymer AM spans multiple processes with different pitfalls. Spark designs bespoke VR training that mirrors your SLS/SLA/FDM set-ups, materials control, build removal, depowdering/wash, cure, dye/paint and inspection—so teams learn the right order first.

Common pain points

  • Materials: humidity control, resin handling and spool care.
  • Machine set-up: bed levelling, exposure profiles and chamber conditions.
  • Post-process: wash/cure, depowder, support removal and surface prep.
  • Quality: warp/void control, dimensional checks and cosmetic standards.

Our bespoke build approach

  1. Capture SOPs & specs: print profiles, post-cure recipes and QA limits.
  2. Create scenarios: material change, print start, recover from failure and finishing.
  3. Coach in VR: prompts aligned to your printers and travellers.
  4. Assess: RFT, scrap drivers and appearance checks.

Benefits

  • Fewer failed builds and reprints.
  • Consistent surface finish and colour.
  • Traceable training for audits and customers.
