Welding
(SMAW)

Step into a realistic virtual welding lab and build hands-on skills in a safe, controlled environment.

What You'll Learn

  • Apply welding safety practices, including hazard recognition and correct PPE use
  • Prepare a safe workspace by spotting and correcting common shop hazards
  • Set up a basic SMAW station, connecting the ground clamp and electrode holder
  • Adjust machine amperage for your material and electrode
  • Strike and maintain a stable arc, controlling arc length for consistent quality
  • Hold the correct electrode angle and regulate travel speed to control the weld puddle
  • Produce a straight, consistent bead on flat plate
  • Perform post-weld cleanup, including slag removal and surface prep
  • Identify common defects like porosity, undercut, and slag inclusion
  • Evaluate weld quality using basic visual inspection criteria

The VR experience

You begin your training in realistic industrial environments such as bridge construction sites, shipyards, manufacturing plants, and pipeline projects. Your first task is to identify common welding hazards, including flammable materials, exposed electrical cables, and unsafe gas cylinder storage. You then select and properly equip full PPE—welding helmet, gloves, flame-resistant jacket, and safety boots—before entering the shop floor. Your ability to recognize hazards and prepare a safe workspace is assessed.

Next, you move into SMAW equipment setup. In an interactive station, you identify key components such as the power supply, electrode holder, ground clamp, and electrodes. You assemble the welding circuit, attach the work clamp, insert the electrode, and adjust machine amperage. Each step is validated in real time to ensure correct setup.

You then progress to arc control training, where you learn to strike and maintain a stable welding arc. The system evaluates arc length, electrode angle, and movement stability as you practice techniques like match strike and tap strike, building fundamental motor control skills.

After mastering arc control, you perform basic weld beads on flat plate. You manage travel speed, puddle control, and arc stability while the system provides real-time feedback. Once complete, you clean and inspect your weld, reinforcing proper shop procedures.

You then apply your skills to real joint configurations, including T-joints, lap joints, and corner joints. You perform fillet welds while learning how joint geometry and electrode positioning affect weld quality, and observe multi-pass welding sequences.

Finally, you complete a certification-style challenge where you weld independently and evaluate defects such as porosity, slag inclusion, and undercut. This final assessment measures your ability to perform safe, consistent, and quality welds without assistance.
