Step into the welding lab and build real SMAW skills in VR. Begin your training in realistic industrial environments such as bridge construction sites, shipyards, and manufacturing plants, where you identify common welding hazards and properly equip PPE before entering the work area. You'll then move into SMAW equipment setup, learning to identify key components, assemble the welding circuit, insert electrodes, and adjust machine settings with real-time validation guiding each step. Once setup is complete, you'll practice striking and maintaining a stable welding arc while building control over arc length, electrode angle, and movement. From there, you'll perform weld beads and fillet welds on common joint configurations like T-joints and lap joints, learning proper puddle control, travel speed, and weld positioning. The training concludes with a certification-style challenge where you weld independently and inspect for defects such as porosity, slag inclusion, and undercut.
