Virtual maintenance training solutions offer real world training without the cost, delays, and inconvenience of physical mock-ups and classroom training. Digimation offers a robust and proven method of delivering 3D virtual training systems that accurately simulate complex training operations. The trainee can explore a wide variety of failure scenarios and product configurations in a high retention 3D virtual environment.
Benefits of Virtual Training
Virtual Maintenance Trainers offer a number of tangible benefits over traditional training methods. Here are a few.
Increase Retention
Teach with hands-on participation, not lectures. 3D training replicates the real world experience and is proven to increase trainee participation and retention.
Improve Safety
Trainees can explore solutions to instructor-specified problems in a risk-free, realistic environment that encourages learning and experimentation.
Reduced Costs
Accelerated learning with less instructor time, less damage to actual equipment, a reduced need for prototypes, and fewer safety concerns add up to reduced overall training costs.
Remote Capabilities
Virtual training is easily accessible outside the classroom. Allow students to learn anytime, anywhere - even in the field.
No Hard Equipment Needed
Since virtual training does not require access to the actual equipment, learning can take place when no equipment is available. In addition, virtual task trainers reduce wear and tear on actual equipment.
Extended Viewing
Virtual Maintenance Training promotes concept learning by demonstrating mechanics that cannot be readily viewed by the human eye, such as internal part interaction.
To Understand the Whole, You Need to Know the Parts
Whether interactive training is used to teach the operation of a complete vehicle or the mechanics of an engine, one of the most important components of the system are the individual 3D parts.
Each part must be accurate in form so that their interaction is correct. The 3D wireframe that makes up each part must be efficient in design so that it can be rendered quickly. All parts must be visually detailed, including labels and wear, so when the student sees the actual part in service, it is instantly recognizable.
Digimation uses technical manuals, photographs, and digitized measurements to create extremely accurate 3D representations of component parts down to the smallest detail. In cases where CAD data is available, we can optimize the geometry down to a level suitable for realtime rendering, and then use photographic references to paint accurate surface details onto each object. This attention to detail results in 3D parts which are both technically accurate and visually compelling.
