Welding, a foundation of the manufacturing and fabrication industry, has evolved and can now utilize the latest advancements in digital technology, such as 3D visualization software and robotics. Demand for robotic welding processes is increasing in production facilities, and 3D welding simulation is helping to enhance and streamline automated welding processes.What is Welding Simulation?Welding simulation is a software-based technology that allows manufacturing engineers to plan and assess welding procedures online before executing them in real-time. By utilizing these computer programs, manufacturers, welders, and engineers gain invaluable insight when planning a welding workflow they can use to adjust and fine-tune the welding processes they are developing.
