As any instructor can confirm, classroom materials don’t come cheap and can quickly add up in price. But what if you could save up to 60% on consumable costs per semester?
Recent research done by Miller® found that using a combination of traditional welding training and their AugmentedArc® Augmented Reality System, instructors were able to minimize material costs and reduce overall training time.
Students involved in the study were making less errors and were able to correct any errors they were making in the lab live welding by going back in the classroom using the augmented reality environment, allowing them to reduce material waste while they mastered the basics. First time students were laying better beads going back and forth between the shop and the Miller® AugmentedArc® to improve their technique without the added material costs. The study also showed a reduction in actual training time for the semester by up to 65% for each student.
By using a blended training program including the AugmentedArc® and traditional welding training, you can help your students emerge as stronger welders, needing fewer training hours so they can get to live arc welding in the lab more quickly.
