Project duration: 1.7.2021 to 31.10.2022

Welding is a demanding activity that requires a lot of practice. Welding simulators are therefore increasingly being used in training and for training purposes. Fronius is in the process of optimising its welding training system in an efficient and user-oriented manner. Together with Fronius, FH Campus Wien is researching ways to implement virtual or augmented simulations.

As part of the FFG-funded research project Virtual Welding NEXT: Integration of Virtual / Augmented Simulation and Real Welding, concepts and demonstrators of position detection and tracking solutions suitable for welding training systems were created.
In the course of the product development project described here, the necessary development steps for integrating the tracking functionality into the Fronius welding training system will be implemented.

Research Goals

Product development of a welding training system
Based on the results achieved in the previous funded research project, an integration of the tracking solutions into the next generation of the commercial welding training system offered by Fronius will be realised.
