To help improve the training of the nation’s future welders, Lincoln Electric has developed a new way to teach welding techniques through a new virtual welding system called VRTEX™ 360. The system incorporates technology Lincoln recently acquired from VRSim Inc., a leader in the development of training software and graphic simulation for industry and academia. This next-generation virtual welding training system was developed in partnership by teams at Lincoln Electric and VRSim. According to Erin Justice, Lincoln’s manager of virtual welding solutions, “having a sufficient supply of trained welders is critical to our country’s industrial and infrastructure needs, and virtual welding provides a new and exciting approach to training that is desperately needed.” Visit the company’s Web site at [www.lincolnelectric.com].
